內容簡介

九歲的傑和父母住在印度大城捷運紫線旁的貧民區,母親為人幫傭,父親是築路工人。同學巴哈杜失蹤,愛看警察實境節目的傑,要求佩芮、法茲當他助手,一起用電視上的破案技巧尋人。可,更多孩子失蹤了⋯擔憂的父母、冷漠的警察,還有傳言中擄人靈魂的鎮尼⋯偵探遊戲逐漸變調。獲獎作家藉由小說叩問,每年從印度街頭消失的數萬兒童,究竟去了哪兒?

'A moving and confident novel about the preciousness of life' Nikesh Shukla

'A brilliant debut' (Ian McEwan) picked as one to watch by the Guardian, Observer, Vogue and Stylist

Three weeks ago I was only a schoolkid but now I’m a detective and also a tea-shop boy…

Nine-year-old Jai watches too many reality cop shows, thinks he’s smarter than his friend Pari (even though she always gets top marks) and considers himself to be a better boss than Faiz (even though Faiz is the one with a job).

When a boy at school goes missing, Jai decides to use the crime-solving skills he has picked up from episodes of Police Patrol to find him. With Pari and Faiz by his side, Jai ventures into some of the most dangerous parts of the sprawling Indian city; the bazaar at night, and even the railway station at the end of the Purple Line. But kids continue to vanish, and the trio must confront terrified parents, an indifferent police force and soul-snatching djinns in order to uncover the truth.

'Djinn Patrol is storytelling at its best’ Anne Enright, Booker-prize winning author of The Gathering

‘Irresistibly brimming with character and personality, I couldn’t stop picking it up for the bright lights of the writing. I also love the fact that it addresses an important issue while opening a window on everyday life in India. Wonderful’ Diana Evans
