Written by Erik Allgower
Fiction/Thriller
In this book Erik Allgower places Bhutan on a global center stage as a custodian of an important and secret letter. The author skillfully builds upon the existing conditions in Bhutan in the 1980s to tell a fantastic tale of dogged and often bungling members of an international group who are in a race to locate this secret letter. A race that pitches distinguished Tibetologists against wily Jesuits, while fake diplomats compete with hardcore spies as their paths criss-cross. Unbeknownst to all, throughout their journey, the eyes of the Tigers watch them closely. Erik Allgower’s fast paced thriller will enthrall Bhutanese and Bhutan enthusiasts alike.
Erik Allgower is a specialist in Internal Medicine who had the privilege of serving the Royal Government of Bhutan as a Zonal Medical Officer in charge of Bumthang, Trongsa, and Zhemgang districts in the 1980s.
