Rupee Millionaires Author:Frank Kusy When Frank teams up with Spud he thinks he?s got it made. But he hasn't. He'?s made a deal with the Devil. 'Dodgy' Frank Kusy, born into poverty from immigrant parents, learns to live on his wits??first as an unwitting money collector for Ronnie Kray, later as a Buddhist trader in London?s St Martin?s-in-the-Fields market. Then he meets up with... more » thuggish ?Spud? who is so good at scaring people, notably the Petrovs, two encroaching Russian gangsters, that he hires him on the spot as his business partner. But it?s a deal with the Devil. Spud is a loose cannon, liable to blow up at any moment. The two travel to India to become the largest wholesaler of hippy-Hindi glad rags in the UK, and to fulfill their dream of becoming rupee millionaires. Along the way, they pick up a motley crew of kooky characters??Ram, a lovable, crutch-bound Rajasthani, George, an irascible American, Nick and Anna, a quirky Canadian couple, Susie, a Dagenham girl gone ?native?, and Rose, the secret love of Ram?s life. These become the ?Pushkar Posse?, a group of oddball traveler-entrepreneurs who meet once a year to have fun and make money in equal measure. Join Frank on this wild rite of passage through India.« less
