THERE'S A CASTE SYSTEM –— EVEN IN MURDER
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 characters unravel before our eyes. But can we trust Advani? Or does he have another agenda in mind....
A dazzling mystery, a rivetting whodunnit, a kaleidoscopic portrait of modern India.

评分前年看了由该作者改编而成的贫民区的百万富翁,看完心里久久不能平静,主人翁所答的问题,其实就是他长大以来经历过的事情,配合印度社会种种黑暗,落后,腐败镜头的视觉冲击,顿时让人觉得幸福指数飙升。 然后看到该作者的小说六个嫌疑人,很期待不知道是不是也是一本有惊喜...
评分IT革命导致资讯过度膨胀,带来的一个后果是:无论你乐不乐意,都再没法闭上眼睛。无论你乐不乐意,必然会接受大量信息。无论你乐不乐意,就会了解其实未必想要知道的事情——有时是事实。 所以我在使用“恒河沙数”这个词时会皱起眉头,想到河中漂浮的、肚皮鼓胀的尸首。 小时...
评分作者是印度外交官,但在小说中却完全没有官方的政治意识形态,而是遵从文学表达的特性,把社会的弊病,人的弊病,展露无疑。。。。。中国为什么没有这样的官员?不要空话,套话
