"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.
Vikas Swarup is a member of the Indian Foreign Service. Originally published as Q&A, Slumdog Millionaire was an international bestseller. It has been translated into thirty-seven languages so far and was made into an award-wining Radio Four dramatization in 2006. His new novel, Six Suspects, has also been optioned for film. It is currently available as a Doubleday hardback and is due to be published as a Black Swan paperback in February 2009. Find out more about the author by visiting his website: www.vikasswarup.ne

评分读到艾可提死去的,我觉得太伤心了。他和昌比活在社会的最底层,但却拥有了世界上最真挚的爱情,而现实社会却总让最底层的人蒙受不白之冤,成为有钱人的替死鬼……
评分如果没看《两杆大烟枪》、《11:14》、《疯狂的石头》等电影,会觉得本书作者这种平行叙事、多视角交汇重合的方法是一种创举,但第一次读到以这样结构编排的文学作品仍倍感欣慰,尤其是作者写六个嫌疑人的笔法都不相雷同又各尽其妙,比如对女星的描述以日记的形式,对...
评分我想,新的读者们可能会纳闷这本书上为什么会有“推理”这个标签。是的,本书里面没有什么推理内容可言,甚至连犯案跟还原过程都漏洞百出。最明显的就是子弹,第一颗打向木制吧台的子弹没有穿过维奇·拉伊的身体,理所当然的,子弹上也不会有任何DNA痕迹,所以警方根本就不会怀...
