A fresh new voice in fiction explores what happens when the party stops, the drugs wear off and the living has to begin. 'By the time you read this letter I'll be dead and you'll be cursing me because it is the only thing I have left you.' When Joshua King's father dies of a Viagra overdose, he leaves his son a fortune - on condition that Josh writes a bestselling novel. But the last thing Josh wants is a purpose in life: he's far too busy travelling, taking drugs and growing his hair. Now, uncomfortably ensconced in dirty, downtown Delhi, working for a pittance at Hindu Week, still desperately searching for inspiration, Josh reckons he's on to the Big One. Which is to find, befriend and finally unmask the subcontinent's legendary drug baron, Baba. A quest that will surely give him scope for a novel. Two weeks later, penniless and starving in Mumbai's Caged City, selling heroin to street kids, wanted for questioning after the murder of a Bollywood superstar, Josh's very survival depends on his finding Baba.Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 234x152 mm;Gewicht: 1,00 gram;ISBN10: 0743220692;ISBN13: 9780743220699; Engelstalig | Paperback.

SIMON & SCHUSTER (TRADE DIVI, 2003. TRADE PAPER. Near Fine. Paperback Raita, William Rhode's cracking debut novel, really does have it all: "drugs, diamonds, exotic locations, sexy girl, the plan that goes horr ibly wrong". It also, unfortunately, has an implausible, contrived, if none theless still enjoyable, opening premise. Its central character and narrato r Joshua King must write a bestselling novel featuring his late father to c laim his five million-pound inheritance. Joshua has never previously shown any aptitude for fiction; he's your typical English traveller in India. He' s bummed about, taken drugs and once or twice scribbled an article for the Hindu Week newspaper. Of course, all that is about to change. A police drug s raid on his Delhi doss-house brings Josh into contact with the oh-so-gorg eous Yasmin. Her boyfriend James has been dragged off and slung in prison. Could the raid be the work of the mysterious Baba, a Bollywood film mogul t urned drug trafficker and diamond smuggler, whom Josh believes could supply him with both a scoop for the paper and the material for his bestseller? Y asmin, Josh and his old friend Sanjay, quickly form a cunning plan to rip o ff Baba, free James and, with any luck, finish up with a healthy stack of c ash. Easy, obviously. Murders, home cooked pakoras, heroin deals, stolen mo torbikes, double-crossing dames and all manner of subcontinental plots and counter plots ensue until the whole thing judders to a fittingly post-moder n conclusion. THE TIMES 'A rollicking Anglo-Indian thriller with a twist ... Rhode has a wickedly ironic sense of humour: think Kipling's PLAIN TALES told by a 21st Century PG Wodehouse'.

contemporary,education and reference,humor,humor and satire,literary,literature and fiction, Joshua King has more reasons than most young writers to produce that Great First Novel-and they're sitting in his father's bank account. Before dying of a tragic Viagra overdose, Josh's father put a stipulation in his will: Josh cannot claim his fortune unless he writes a bestselling novel in the next five years. The last thing Josh wants is a purpose in life: he's far too busy traveling, taking drugs, and growing his hair. He's very uncomfortably ensconced in a dirty Delhi flophouse, but it's the perfect place to meet drifters and druggies, users and seekers-the kind of people who know how to find Baba.
