I’ve not read much Indian literature, so this thriller was a good introduction to the talent behind this story of an orphaned boy in the lowest of castes who manages to find his way out and, eventually, up into a world of drugs and organized crime that’s just a little too close to the world he left behind. There’s a lot of what feels too much like coincidence, but it’s a fast-paced, great story just the same.
