Black River

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

It takes a village to kill a child...

The village of Teetarpur outside Delhi, is famous for nothing until one of its children is found dead, hanging from the branch of a Jamun tree. In the largely Hindu village, suspicion quickly falls on an itinerant Muslim man, Mansoor. It's up to the local policeman Sub-Inspector Ombir Singh to get to the truth. With only one officer under him, and just a single working revolver between them, can he bring justice to a grieving father an angry village - or will Teetarpur demand vengeance instead?

This shockingly powerful literary thriller is set in a brilliantly realised modern India simmering with tension and riven by growing religious intolerance.
