SYNOPSIS:

In 1982, Marvin Shelby, a California computer component manufacturer cannot keep his engineers. Marvin decides to establish a training and recruiting facility in Hyderabad, India. His plan is to attract the best and brightest of India’s engineers and offer them jobs in his factory in California in exchange for a five-year contract.

Shelby’s wife, Helga, and his nine-year-old daughter, Happy, accompany Marvin to India. Helga is a yoga trainer and wants to learn more at a famous ashram near Hyderabad. Helga and Happy accept an invitation of a local prince to visit his palace one weekend. The prince decides to keep Helga and Happy to sell them as sex slaves or organ donors.

Marvin tries to get help to free his wife and daughter but the standard reply he receives from officials at all levels is, “The prince is above suspicion and would never do such a thing.”

Marvin enlists aid from his students and local villagers to form a posse to free his wife and daughter. Marvin is dying from congestive heart failure. The rescue does not go smoothly.

This is a fast paced adventure story. It is fiction but it is very accurate in regards to geography, government officials’ attitudes, and technical capabilities available at the time.
