Jesse Hughes

Jesse Albert Hughes

Jesse Hughes' real name is Jackson Elias. He is a writer, specializing in books about strange and violent cults. His best-known book is <em>Sons of Death</em>, exposing modern-day Thuggees in India. In Peru, Elias has been using the pseudonym Jesse Hughes, and is pretending to be a folklorist to avoid tipping off Augustus Larkin as to his real identity: that of an author researching the kharisiri death cult and figuring out the true goals of Larkin and de Mendoza.
