Murder in Mumbai

Bon, j'ai décidé de lire les livres que j'ai téléchargés dans mon Sony Reader depuis son achat. Mon dernier emprunt virtuel de la bibliothèque était, disons-le franchement, carrément platte! De plus, avec notre voyage en Asie qui arrive à grands pas, je veux me replonger dans mon anglais (la langue, pas un Anglais quelconque... lol).

From NPR editor Krishnadev Calamur comes an engrossing murder mystery set in the heart of the new India. Mumbai, India: a city of beauty and squalor, old and new, wealth and poverty, honest work and deep corruption? and inevitable target of scandal and condemnation if Inspector Vijay Gaikwad doesn't solve the murder of American businesswoman Liz Barton, and quickly. Just as invested is newspaper reporter Jay Ganesh, looking for the one big story to repair his once-prestigious reputation. Both men soon discover, however, that the case is as difficult to navigate as Mumbai's infamous traffic. From her cheating husband to the billionaire industrialist with whom she was "close"; from her jealous colleague to the environmentalist protesting her company, Barton was not short on potential enemies? and nor are they short on lies. But the pressure is on for Gaikwad, the family man trying to do right on an often unscrupulous force, to place the blame on someone, anyone, and Jay is determined to be the first with the scoop-no matter how deadly. (résumé tiré de la boutique Sony Reader)
