A fun novel about Bombay in the 1980s. It gives the flavor of India- a side of the country few ever see from the slums, to the Mafia, brothels, and prisons. The book is loosely autobiographical and its rich detail lends authenticity to an amazing tale. There is violence, sex, friendship, death, betrayal, and honor. One could say that one of the characters is the city of Bombay itself, but the poly ranges to Indian village life and the mountains of Afghanistan. A true page turner with a little cultural knowledge mixed in with the fast paced plot.
