Dark Lotus

From the colorful streets of Hyderabad to the dark tunnels of the ancient Golconda fortress, from the ruins of a forgotten civilization in Pakistan to the snowy peaks of the Himalayas—everywhere are scattered clues to the location of a lost Indian Temple hiding a centuries-old secret.
Uncovering it will be up to writer Filipp Smirnov, searching for inspiration and a plot for a new book, but he is unexpectedly drawn into solving a tangled puzzle.
He doesn’t suspect that the story began in the Center for Indian Culture in Moscow, where a mysterious poisoning occurs—and the investigation brings in police captain Sablina.
