A Dangerous Time is an eye-opening account of the early days of the drugs bazaars in India. Set in the pre-independence period, the story brings together a group of fascinating characters whose lives intersect in fateful and at times explosive ways. The action unfolds against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, and the rise of the pharmaceutical industry.
The historical context of this work examines how greed, corruption and exploitation permeated and quickly changed the way drugs and medicines were made and consumed during the first half of the 20th century.
The narrative is filled with rich cultural details of life in India during a tumultuous time, and transports the reader to a not so distant past that helps to explain the present.
