Sacred Games (English)

In Ganesh Gaitonde, the high-living, fancy-dressing, fame-hungry antihero of SACRED GAMES, Vikram Chandra has created an epic gangster character worthy of the Vito Corleone or Tony Montana. Ganesh's brutal and meteoric rise through the Mumbai crime world takes him from prison to politics to the kaleidoscopic glitz of Bollywood to his expected bloody demise. Like any great criminal, Ganesh has his police counterpart in Sartaj Singh, the immaculate divorced detective, who acts as witness to Ganesh storied career. This is a rich intoxicating novel that captures the flavor of India's seamy underbelly. minimize
