The assassin's song / M.G. Vassanji.

Vassanji, M. G. (Author).

Summary:

Karsan Dargawalla tells the story of the medieval Sufi shrine of Pirbaag, and his betrayal of its legacy. But Karsan's conflicted attempt to settle accounts quickly blossoms into a layered tale that spans centuries: from the mysterious Nur Fazal's spiritual journeys through thirteenth century India, to his shrine's eventual destruction in the horrifying "riots" of 2002.
