La historia de un hombre amable que, en Cachemira, se convierte en terrorista a causa de una infidelidad amorosa. Los Ángeles, 1991. El embajador Maximilian Ophuls muere a plena luz del día ante la casa de India, su hija ilegítima. Lo apuñala su chófer musulmán, originario de Cachemira, quien se hace llamar Shalimar el payaso. Ophuls es un héroe de la resistencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un hombre de gran talento intelectual y fuerte atractivo erótico, ex embajador estadounidense en la India y jefe antiterrorista de Estados Unidos. A primera vista, el crimen parece de naturaleza política, pero pronto se descubre que el móvil no es tan simple# La crítica ha dicho...«Salman Rushdie ha escrito su obra maestra.»El País
