Bog beskrivelse

On a bright July morning in 1870 the British explorer George Hayward was brutally murdered high in the Hindu Kush. Who was he, what had brought him to this wild spot, and why was he killed?

Told in full for the first time, this is the gripping tale of Hayward''s journey from a Yorkshire childhood to a place at the forefront of the ''Great Game'' between the British Raj and the Russian Empire. Driven by ''an insane desire'' Hayward crossed the Western Himalayas, tangled with despotic chieftains and ended up on the wrong side of both the Raj and the mighty Maharaja of Kashmir.

Tim Hannigan explores the conspiracies and controversies that surrounded his death, travelling in Hayward''s footsteps to bring the story up to date, and to reveal how the echoes of the Great Game still reverberate across Central Asia in the twenty-first century.
