N2  - "When Jerry Delfont, an aimless travel writer with writer's block (his "dead hand"), receives a letter from an American philanthropist, Mrs. Merrill Unger, with news of a scandal involving an Indian friend of her son's, he is sufficiently intrigued to pursue the story. Who is the dead boy, found on the floor of a cheap hotel room? How and why did he die? And what is Jerry to make of a package containing a human hand?"--Cover
