Mohammed Hanif's first novel is as grimly, intelligently comic as if written by an Asian Joseph Heller. --The Daily Telegraph
Witty, elegant, and deliciously anarchic. Hanif has a lovely eye and an even better ear. --John le Carré
Zesty, highly inventive...Hanif is a gifted writer...His explosive finale is brilliantly constructed. --The Daily Mail
A superb debut novel centred around the assassination of the Pakistani dictator General Zia.
