'The man who lit the way for us all' Len DeightonAn Indian clerk Girija Krishnan sees the
opportunity of his lifetime when he stumbles on an abandoned cache of arms hidden in the
Malayan jungle. If he can sell the weapons he will be able to achieve his lifelong dream of
owning a bus company - although the penalty for gun-running is death. Soon his decision becomes
the catalyst for a chain of events involving an entrepreneurial Chinese family a corrupt
Colonel and finally a naïve couple of American tourists who find themselves horribly out of
their depth.
