“Beast of Bengal is a well-written, tightly-plotted, skin-prickling tale. Take Elaine Pinkerton’s book home. Read it tonight by candlelight.” – James D. Ross, author of Charlie Moon/Shaman mystery series.

Elaine Pinkerton’s “Beast of Bengal” will be displayed at the Los Angeles Times Festival of books on April 23-24, 2022, at the University of Southern California campus, Los Angeles, CA. This book is about a story that starts in a war that was presently raging. When a small unit of soldiers had a mission to rescue a medical team in Myitkina, they had to go through the scorching hot jungle of Burma. Most of the soldiers continued their route to Myitkina except for one arguing private, making Colonel Mac, their leader, grab him by the neck and choking the soldier. Private Brothers, the stubborn soldier’s companion, has witnessed the scene. The Colonel suffers from nightmares after that, and on one evening in an American military hospital in Calcutta, something horrible has occurred.

“Beast of Bengal” is a World War II thriller and a moving love story set in the unexpected China-Burma-India Theatre. This historical fiction depicts the bitter rivalry for Indian independence between those who advocated for the forceful removal of Westerners and those who supported Mohandas Gandhi. According to Peggy van Hulsteyn, author of “Sleeping with Literary Lion,” this book is the perfect read for armchair travelers who are instantly transported to exotic Calcutta, India. This suspense novel should be on the must-not-miss reading list for history and World War II buffs.

Richard Benet, the protagonist of “Beast of Bengal”, appears again in Elaine Pinkerton’s newest book “The Hand of Ganesh.” (Pocol Press, 2022)
