"There's a caste system--even in murder" From the author of the international bestseller "Slumdog Millionaire" comes a richly-textured tale of murder, corruption, and opportunity. Seven years ago, Vivek "Vicky" Rai, the playboy son of the Home Minister of Uttar Pradesh, murdered bartender Ruby Gill at a trendy restaurant in New Delhi, simply because she refused to serve him a drink. Now Vicky Rai has been killed at the party he was throwing to celebrate his acquittal. The police recover six guests with guns in their possession: a corrupt bureaucrat who claims to have become Mahatma Gandhi overnight; an American tourist infatuated with an Indian actress; a stone-age tribesman on a quest to recover a sacred stone; a Bollywood sex-symbol with a guilty secret; a mobile-phone thief who dreams big; and an ambitious politician prepared to stoop low. Swarup unravels the lives and motives of the six suspects, offering both a riveting page-turner and an insightful peek into the heart of contemporary India. Audaciously and astutely plotted, with a panoramic imaginative sweep, "Six Suspects" is the work of a master storyteller.

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
评分很赞的一本推理小说,结局起码有一点大家各得其所的韵味。只是对于书中一些细节还不是很明白,恳请路过的高手们指点迷津。 1,到底是谁是拉里佩吉的笔友?难道是莎布南的妹妹?她用照片冒充姐姐?依据? 2,拉里佩吉找的那个私家侦探查到的是莎布南妹妹的住所吗?他怎么知道妹...
评分六个嫌疑人中的每个角色都代表了不同的社会阶级。这些角色有如一面镜子,让我们映照比对。透过艾可提这个角色,我们可以明白以物质取胜的消费文化有多么浅薄。
