Criminal Intent with Vikram Chandra and Leigh Redhead |
Vikram Chandra Sacred Games (Faber and Faber) divides his time between Mumbai and Berkeley. In Sacred Games the reader is drawn deep into the lives of dectective Sartaj Singh and Ganesh Gaitonde, the most wanted gangster in India. Drawing on the best of Victorian fiction, mystery novels, Bollywood movies and his years of research on the streets of Mumbai, Sacred Games reads like a ptoboiling page-turner but resonates with the intelligence and emotional depth of the best of literature.
Leigh Redhead Cherry Pie (Allen & Unwin) was a 2006 Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Novelist. This is her third novel featuring Simone Kirsh - ex-stripper, sex kitten, private investigator and drinker of more cheap wine than is good for her, her lovers and the police. Just how much trouble can one girl get into? If it's Simone Kirsch, then it's a lot. With enough red herrings and jaw-dropping surprises to shake even Simone, Cherry Pie is hard to put down. |

| Cherry Pie Reviewed by Sue Turnbull in Spectrum |
Cherry Pie should come with a series of warnings. Do not read this book if you have led a sheltered life and plan to keep it that way. Do not read this book if you object to the sex industry. Do not read this book if you find scenes of graphic violence and beheaded marsupials hard to deal with. Do not, under any circumstances, read this book in public, while eating or drinking, as you may splutter with laughter and embarrass yourself.
