Synopsis

I was taught to take everything I could by any means possible without feeling any sense of remorse, and that coloured the way I saw the world, a world where the strong stomp on everyone below them and doing good is for the naive.' In the heart of Lutyens' Delhi - as politicians, power-brokers, godmen, media moguls, and bureaucrats go peaceably about their business of amassing great personal wealth and wresting the seat of control - only occasionally getting ensnared in their own webs of scandal and selaze - the Vice-President of India, an ex-army chief, throws everyone into shock by defying his rubber-stamp status and attenpting to establish military rule. Only one man, his sometime son-in-law, erstwhile Middle-Eastern money launderer, and newly returned to India personal financial adviser to Prime Minister Paresh Yadav, can bring him to heel. Brilliantly plotted and bittingly written, Delhi Durbar is a sharp, stingingly astute and taut political novel, in which the fast-paced action is never out of the realm of possibility.
