"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。
评分作者是印度外交官,但在小说中却完全没有官方的政治意识形态,而是遵从文学表达的特性,把社会的弊病,人的弊病,展露无疑。。。。。中国为什么没有这样的官员?不要空话,套话
