Death in Kashmir
First published 1953
Kashmir, 1947. Sarah Parrish joins the final winter gathering of the Ski Club of India at Gulmarg as British rule approaches its end. A skier’s fatal fall is followed by warnings from Janet Rushton, who reveals that the dead woman was connected with intelligence work and that sensitive information remains hidden.
When Janet also dies, Sarah follows a trail of coded messages towards a houseboat on the Kashmir lakes. Captain Charles Mallory may be able to help her, but the enemy agent searching for the missing papers is concealed within the remaining British community. Surrounded by people preparing to leave India and uncertain which old loyalties still matter, Sarah must identify the killer before the secret information disappears with the last members of the colonial circle.
