When Gods Collide - available now

By Kate James
Written in Kate James’ darkly comic and engrossing reportage style this is as much a spiritual journey as a detective story. Having grown up among missionaries in India, Kate returns to ames – released in February her birthplace in search of herself and the story behind the brutal murder of compatriot Graham Staines. She explores India’s complex tapestry of religion and mysticism, assessing its Christian, Buddhist, Hindu and atheist heritage as she comes to terms with the faith she has rejected.
