There's a caste system even in murder.
Seven years ago, Vivek 'Vicky' Rai, the playboy son of the Home Minister of Uttar Pradesh, murdered Ruby Gill at a trendy restaurant in New Delhi simply because she refused to serve him a drink.
Now Vicky Rai is dead, killed at his farmhouse at a party he had thrown to celebrate his acquittal.
The police cordon off the venue and search each and every guest. Six of them are discovered with guns in their possession and are taken in for questioning.
Who are these six suspects? And what were they doing in the farmhouse that night?
In this elaborate mystery we join Arun Advani, India's best-known investigative journalist, as the lives of these six suspects unravel before our eyes: 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. Each is equally likely to have pulled the trigger.
Inspired by actual events, Vikas Swarup's second offering is both a riveting page-turner and an insightful peek into the heart and soul of contemporary India. His kaleidoscopic imagination will delight the many fans of his acclaimed debut Q & A. Audaciously and astutely plotted, Six Suspects is the work of a master storyteller.
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.
