In prison, Ameer Ali calmly recounts to a British officer how he was raised among the Thugs, the gangs who befriended travellers and strangled them with a cloth in the name of the goddess Kali. Expeditions, disguises, love affairs and hundreds of murders follow, drawn from the real confessions Taylor heard in India.
