Death of a Guru Doug Greenall

Mystery, literary thriller DEATH OF A GURU It's 1992, and not all is paradise on the white sand beaches of Thailand. Magnus Larsen is a young American yearning for home when a strange series of events brings him face to face with a charismatic guru. A dynamic friendship ensues, and Magnus is drawn into an intrigue that exhilarates and terrifies him. Devon Clarke, a man with a tortured past, has reinvented himself as the guru Dadaram, and his plan for his own spiritual redemption is brutal. He uses Anna, a beautiful and obedient devotee, to ensnare Magnus in a scheme that tears his life apart, and leads him on an obsessive, murderous pursuit through the teeming cities of Southeast Asia. A tale of murder and revenge wrapped in layers of mystery, it's also an epic odyssey of the spirit for Magnus, with a shocking conclusion that shakes his life to the core. From the Blue Ink Review: "In this wildly complex and tautly composed thriller set in Southeast Asia, author Doug Greenall marries the ferocious beating heart of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness ... to the exotic plunge into madness found in the 1990's cult classic The Beach by Alex Garland."
