Dante Halloran and his friend Roshan are in Pakistan for a puppetry festival when they are taken to visit the Sufis of Shah Jamal, a hypnotising dance beneath the great fig trees growing from the tombs of a revered saint. Things take a turn for the worse, however, when Dante decides to partake of the festivities in the only way he knows how, and Roshan finds himself facing off against an angry mob.This story follows years later in the footsteps of the novel Eucalyptus Goth, exploring the further adventures of its characters.
