Riassunto

Vicky Rai, the son of a high-profile Minister, has been shot dead by one of the guests at his own party. They are a glitzy bunch, but among them the police find six strange, displaced characters with a gun in their possession. each of them steaming with a secret motive.

India's wiliest investigative journalist, Arun Advani, makes it his mission to nail the murderer. In doing so, the amazing, tender and touching, techni-colour lives of six eccentric personalities unravel before our eyes. But can we trust Advani? Or does he have another agenda in mind...?

Recensione:

"I do not normally recommend crime novels more than 500 pages long, but I am making an exception with Vikas Swarup It's unusual, witty, quirkly, cleverly plotted, intelligent, and along the way it's an informative satire on Indian politics and values...a rollicking good read" (Marcel Berlins Times)

"Gleeful, sneaky fun" (Janet Maslin New York Times)

"Neat, clever and loads and loads of fun" (Daily Sport)

"A page-turner of a mystery" (Waterstones' Quarterly)

"Swarup has a redeeming eye for the disparites that define Indian society" (Guardian)
