About this ebook

This is set in 1947, amid the turmoil of the British withdrawal from India after centuries of rule. A report is received at the offices of a London Fleet Street newspaper about a mystical boy who is performing miracles and is said to be the new Messiah.

A world-weary journalist, Arthur Green, is sent to investigate, and he finds a web of intrigue, lies, deceit, and love. He follows the boy to a cholera camp where although weary from exhaustion, he thinks he sees the boy perform a miracle. A mysterious sect of government ministers and powerful business leaders called the Murghal is intent on promoting the boy for their own benefitat any cost.

As pilgrims start to flock to the boy, Arthur has to decide if he can believe what he has seen, if he can believe in the power of belief.

Martyn James Pummell

Martyn James Pummell was born in 1939 in central London within the sound of Bow Bells and, for a time, lived in Bow Street in Covent Garden; went to school in Drury Lane; joined the St. Martins-the-Fields cub/scout group; later went to schools in Walthamstow, Maidstone, Eastbourne, and Sutton; and served a six-year apprenticeship as a diamond mounter. As a young man, he had a serious car crash, spent four months in hospital, and went on to start a successful business. He’s married at the age of thirty and has two sons.
