Around a low-burning fire in a jungle clearing, a small group of late travelers huddles: a merchant, a Sikh with his son, a farmer. Silently, two men, flanking one of the travelers, crouch forward. A dirty cloth flashes momentarily and jerks around the traveler’s neck. One of the men tugs the cloth, the other forces the traveler’s head over to one side. Thuggee death has struck; Kali is assuaged.

True, questions arise. How could an Englishman pass himself off as an Indian weaver—especially to that weaver’s intimate associates? Doesn’t his makeup need touching-up occasionally? As with Fleming’s You Only Live Twice, you find yourself passing over these issues for the sake of the story. And, as with Fleming and O’Brien, you find yourself hitting “pause” in order to savor passages of exceptionally fine writing.
My association of The Deceivers with the Aubrey and Maturin series may be due, in part, to the fact that Patrick Tull, who performed the best recordings of O’Brien’s books, mans the mic here. Whatever the case, he turns in his usual spectacular performance.
