Vicky Rai, un joven empresario y playboy, hijo del poderoso ministro del Interior de Uttar Pradesh, da una fiesta para celebrar que la justicia le ha absuelto de un asesinato cometido hace ya siete años. Pero poco antes de la media noche, el asesino es asesinado. Los seis sospechosos tienen un arma y un motivo. La policía parece dispuesta a actuar, pero el verdadero detective será Arun Advani, un periodista que cambiará el rumbo de la investigación oficial. Y que nos mostrará las novelescas vidas de los sospechosos: una estrella de Bollywood, un funcionario corrupto, un gañán de la América profunda, un inteligente ladrón, un chico de un pueblo, y el padre del asesinado, que amaba a su hijo pero quiere con mucha mayor intensidad ser primer ministro... One of the best murder mystery I've read in some time. The plot revolves around all these fictional characters yet each of them are inspired by real life persons and incidents from India - from the high profile murder of the bartender to the utterly corrupt politician and his criminal son, from the story of a cheated American to the life of a Bollywood actress, from the story of a slum dweller who dreams of richness and love to the story of a simple tribal from Andaman - the story is written beautifully - and keeps readers in the suspense until the last page. A must read. Swarup kuvaa Intian arkea ja yhteiskuntaa vaivihkaa mutta siten, että ne avautuvat ulkomaalaiselle lukijalle. Syyllisten seurueessa tutustutaan hyvin erilaisiin hahmoihin, joita Intia yhdistää. Tyylikeinona on, että kunkin päähenkilön tarinaan keskitytään omissa luvuissa, ja tekstin tyyli vaihtelee henkilöittäin. Swarupin hahmonkehittely on aika epätasaista laatua, sillä toiset ovat hyvinkin kiinnostavia, toiset vähän tylsiä. Kirjan loppuun päästessä tuntuu siltä kuin hahmoihin olisi saanut pureutua syvemmällekin; ehkä näin runsaslukuinen päähenkilökaarti olisi edellyttänyt suhteellisen pitkää romaania. Pidän Swarupin huumorista, etenkin punaniskaisen amerikkalaisturistin kohdalla, jonka käyttämät vertauskuvat ovat hullunkurisia. (Lue koko arvostelu blogissani) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
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, technicolor lives of six eccentric characters unravel before our eyes. But can we trust Advani? Or does he have another agenda in mind...?
