具体描述
"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IT革命导致资讯过度膨胀，带来的一个后果是：无论你乐不乐意，都再没法闭上眼睛。无论你乐不乐意，必然会接受大量信息。无论你乐不乐意，就会了解其实未必想要知道的事情——有时是事实。 所以我在使用“恒河沙数”这个词时会皱起眉头，想到河中漂浮的、肚皮鼓胀的尸首。 小时...
评分 评分看过Q&A的人都知道斯的说故事能力，各种角度不同手法。在读者面前描绘出如诗的故事。不愿看都不行。 故事的结局有点惊人，可它却给读者留下了太多的想象。一个讲述印度政界的故事，一个让诸多国家思考的故事。比福尔摩斯还福尔摩斯。
