The Return of Faraz Ali: A Novel

"It starts out as a crime novel. A murder. A cop. An investigation. And then evolves into so much more. This assured debut novel evokes an older Pakistan, with all the many complications of class, society, entitlement, entangled history. Anyone looking for a pat ending should leave this one alone; instead come for the evocative writing, the subtle characters, and plot – some of which veered in territory completely unexpected territory."
