**If I remember rightly, the Thuggee were broken up by a British Army
Officer called Sleeman who did indeed pass off as one of them, and I believe
he wrote a set of memoirs about it. Can anyone add to that?

A correspondent asks if Kipling wrote about the Thugs, or another sect which
uses poison. Can any one help? All that comes to mind is John Masters The
Deceivers.
Many thanks,
