Delhi Durbar

Delhi Durbar

byKrishan Partap Singh

In the heart of Lutyens’ Delhi – as politicians, powerbrokers, media moguls, and bureaucrats go peaceably about their business of amassing unlimited personal wealth–occasionally getting ensnared in their own webs of scandal and sleaze – the President of India, an exarmy chief, throws everyone into shock by defying his rubberstamp status and threatening to establish military rule. Only Jasjit Sidhu, his sometime soninlaw, erstwhile corporate banker and money launderer, and newly returned to India as personal financial adviser to Prime Minister Paresh Yadav, can bring him to heel. Brilliantly plotted and bitingly written, Delhi Durbar is an astute and gripping political novel, in which the outrageous twists and turns of the empowered corrupt, and their fiercely selfserving agendas makes for a political thriller of a uniquely Indian flavour.Show more
