Your honour,

As agreed, I will begin sending you copies of the documentation we have been compiling. Once again sorry for the piecemeal nature of these deliveries but I know you are eager to start your work. I am starting today with the first email of many.

Please find attached the phone transcripts for Mr Tim Miller for the 5th of August, 2007.

Due to file size considerations, I will send the rest in a separate communication. Audio files also available upon request.

Regards,

Vikram Chowdury.

Your honour,

Besides all the information that is available via conventional means through the work of the prosecution and the investigators, Mrs Saskia Miller also produced much interesting material.

She was an avid writer, working daily on both her diaries and the first draft of her unpublished novel. We can safely assume a higher degree of verisimilitude in her diary than in the largely autobiographical novel. However, your honour, it is my belief that there are details and episodes in that draft novel which are drawn straight from her life. Episodes which she did not have the openness to disclose in the diary, being as she says an instrument to self-regulate her humour in distressful times.

Therefore please find attached her diary entries for the 11Th of August, 2007. I will send you, as soon as I have prepared it, a substantial part of her novel which deals with the circumstances presented in the diary.

Yours in sincerity,

Vikram Chowdury

Your honour,

This is the first chapter from Saskia Miller's draft novel which I feel is relevant to your understanding of Mr Tim Miller and what has occurred. It details his first night in India and is a clear sign of his failing mental health. As I mentioned previously, we have no way of knowing how related this fictitious character Jeremy Gould is to Mr Miller. However, the similarities are staggering and surely not coincidental.

I must warn you that from this chapter onwards the content of Saskia's fiction takes a turn for the nasty and grotesque. If at any point you feel that it is too much to bear and you wish to receive no more news, please let me know. I understand fully that the sort of evidence I am sending you at the moment would not be admissible in court and I appreciate your lassitude in accepting and reading it.

Devotedly,

Vikram Chowdury

Your honour,

I bring you chapter 25 from Saskia's draft novel.

I must point out some inaccuracies in this text. While it is true that traffic in India is less than idyllic, it certainly is not as bad as described. Also, the paan she refers to, is neither a hallucinogenic nor addictive. In its most extreme recipe, paan will have tobacco leaves in it, but no paan in existence would create the effect she describes.

I am beginning to suspect there is a strong anti-India, anti-Asia bias in Mrs. Miller's writing. Was this influenced by her husband's views? Or did it originate spontaneously? We will never know.

Respectfully,

V. Chowdury

Your Honour,

It is my understanding that this exchange of emails is completely off-the-record and confidential. Your last email raised some issues regarding this so I would like to clear any and all ambiguities there might exist.

I will present as evidence most of the material I have sent you, but not all of it for obvious reasons. The material which is restricted to these emails is to be kept between us at all times and, if possible, deleted on your side once it has been viewed. Kindly let me know if that was not your understanding.

Yours confidentially,

Vikram Chowdury

Your honour,

Immense thanks and gratitudes for your discretion.

In this latest series of emails I have included chapters from Mrs. Miller's draft novel. On the last chapter I sent you, Mr Miller's fictional alter ego was just about to enter a meeting at Rana Motors. I won't bother you with chapter 26 from the draft novel as I have managed to source something far better. I have acquired Mr Miller's notes from that exact meeting.

How I got them is besides the point, suffice to say that the world of business has some very unethical practices which in this case have helped our quest for truth.

From these notes, I must again stress that the traditional Indian paan does not have any side-effects. What Mr Miller's driver gave him is a mystery to me. Maybe the leaves were laced with LSD or another hallucinogenic?

Yours gratefully,

Vikram Chowdury

Your honour,

After last week's detour through Mr. Miller's disturbed mind, we return once again to his wife's draft novel.

It might be of interest to you I have not managed to locate any of the characters so far depicted in this novel. There is no Harshad, no Yuvraj, and I could find no record of any man with an almost severed thumb checking into a local hospital that evening. Of course, in my country's society such matters tend to remain in the private sphere as much as possible. How would the unfortunate man justify the injury to his wife?

Yours narratively,

Vikram Chowdury
