Sons of Death (1918)

This work examines the Thuggee, in history and in modern times. Perhaps Elias’ most controversial work, this book claims that the Thuggee cult was not extinguished by the British during the nineteenth century, but had survived elsewhere (particularly in London and South Africa). During the course of his investigations, Elias claims to have joined a South African branch of the group and presents evidence that the group was still committing ritual murders.
