Crime and punishment in India
Review by Tasha Alexander

Vikas Swarup’s Six Suspects is not an ordinary murder mystery. Vicky Rai is as awful a reprobate as an author could create—“the poster boy for sleaze in this...more...]]> 65973193 1361000 3015094 0385608152 9780385608152 56 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3015094.Six_Suspects 3.40 231 3 0 false Mon Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 05:33:09 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 05:33:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 66771696 1270609 3015094 0385608152 9780385608152 56 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3015094.Six_Suspects 3.40 231 4 0 false Fri Aug 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 14:49:07 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 19:58:39 -0700 2009 1

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; 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.

</P><DIV>Vikas Swarup’s eagerly awaited second offering is fiction at its best. 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.  </DIV>]]> 5 0 false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Dec 07 20:20:41 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 08 01:48:03 -0800 2009 more...]]> 68846586 1263193 3015094 0385608152 9780385608152 56 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3015094.Six_Suspects 3.40 231 3 0 false Thu Aug 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 12:02:42 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 12:24:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 69873273 1156629 6403817 031260503X 9780312605032 16 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255608435m/6403817.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6403817-six-suspects 3.42 40 There’s a caste system—even in murder</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">From the author of the international bestseller Slumdog Millionaire comes a richly textured tale of murder, corruption, and redemption.
