Architects of the Taj Mahal - Allan Havis

ARCHITECTS OF THE TAJ MAHAL traces three architects: India's Mir Abdul Karim, Las Vegas' Roseanne L'Anse , and New York's Rex Heuermann.

Their lives contrast the sublime Taj Mahal and Trump's Taj Mahal Resort Casino. L'Anse and Heuermann, unknown to one another, both worked for the Trump Organization. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal to preserve the memory of his favorite wife. Trump buried his first wife Ivana Trump at his Bedminster Golf Course. Their disquieting stories unify over serial sex murders, white collar crimes, and palace violence ensconced in India's antiquity. Legends surround the Taj Mahal's history that have neither been proven or disproven - namely, the lead architects and artisans were killed or had their hands cut off by the emperor to prevent them from building another structure to rival the Taj Mahal.
