Drie weken geleden was ik gewoon een schoolkind, nu ben ik detective en heb ik een baantje bij een theekraam. De negenjarige Jai woont in een naamloze stad in het noorden van India. Hij kijkt te veel realityshows over politie, denkt dat hij slimmer is dan zijn vriend Pari (ook al haalt die altijd hogere cijfers) en ziet zichzelf als een betere baas dan Faiz (terwijl Faiz degene is met een baan). Wanneer een jongen van hun school vermist wordt, besluit Jai de kennis die hij heeft opgedaan tijdens het kijken van Police Patrol in de praktijk te brengen. Met Pari en Faiz aan zijn zijde waagt Jai zich in de gevaarlijkste delen van de uitgestrekte Indiase stad: de bazaar na sluitingstijd en zelfs het laatste metrostation van de paarse lijn. Maar kinderen blijven verdwijnen en het drietal moet doodsbange ouders, een onverschillige politie en kwaadaardige djinns onder ogen zien om de waarheid aan het licht te brengen.

Discover the “extraordinary” (The Washington Post) debut novel that “announces the arrival of a literary supernova” (The New York Times Book Review),“a drama of childhood that is as wild as it is intimate” (Chigozie Obioma). WINNER OF THE EDGAR® AWARD • LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN’S PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Time • The Washington Post • NPR • The Guardian • Library Journal In a sprawling Indian city, a boy ventures into its most dangerous corners to find his missing classmate. . . . Through market lanes crammed with too many people, dogs, and rickshaws, past stalls that smell of cardamom and sizzling oil, below a smoggy sky that doesn’t let through a single blade of sunlight, and all the way at the end of the Purple metro line lies a jumble of tin-roofed homes where nine-year-old Jai lives with his family. From his doorway, he can spot the glittering lights of the city’s fancy high-rises, and though his mother works as a maid in one, to him they seem a thousand miles away. Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line plunges readers deep into this neighborhood to trace the unfolding of a tragedy through the eyes of a child as he has his first perilous collisions with an unjust and complicated wider world. Jai drools outside sweet shops, watches too many reality police shows, and considers himself to be smarter than his friends Pari (though she gets the best grades) and Faiz (though Faiz has an actual job). When a classmate goes missing, Jai decides to use the crime-solving skills he has picked up from TV to find him. He asks Pari and Faiz to be his assistants, and together they draw up lists of people to interview and places to visit. But what begins as a game turns sinister as other children start disappearing from their neighborhood. Jai, Pari, and Faiz have to confront terrified parents, an indifferent police force, and rumors of soul-snatching djinns. As the disappearances edge ever closer to home, the lives of Jai and his friends will never be the same again. Drawing on real incidents and a spate of disappearances in metropolitan India, Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line is extraordinarily moving, flawlessly imagined, and a triumph of suspense. It captures the fierce warmth, resilience, and bravery that can emerge in times of trouble and carries the reader headlong into a community that, once encountered, is impossible to forget.

'Anappara creates an endearing and highly engaging narrator to navigate us through the dark underbelly of modern India' Observer 'I love this book...I just fell into it' Tayari Jones We children are not just stories. We live. Come and see.

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 'A heartrending tale' The Times 'Djinn Patrol is storytelling at its best' Anne Enright

India wordt de volgende wereldmacht, hoor je vaak. Dat klopt niet. India is al een wereldmacht. Het land is cruciaal voor een stabiele wereldpolitiek, de mondiale economie en de aanpak van milieu- en klimaatuitdagingen. Met 945 miljoen stemgerechtigden is het de grootste democratie ter wereld. India is een kernmacht - alleen de VS en China besteden meer aan defensie - en doet volop mee in de space race. De Indiase economie is de vijfde grootste ter wereld. Premier Narendra Modi wordt van Washington tot Tokio met open armen ontvangen. Wie de wereld wil begrijpen, kan dus niet langer om India heen. Maar wat weten we eigenlijk echt over India? Terwijl China met veel aandacht gaat lopen, blijft onze kennis over die andere Aziatische reus doorgaans beperkt tot gemeenplaatsen. Door zijn decennialange ervaring in het land en de honderden gesprekken die hij met de Indiërs voerde, is Gie Goris in staat om achter de duizelingwekkende cijfers en voorbij de clichés te kijken. In dit boek schetst hij een land dat zichzelf presenteert als goeroe van de wereld, maar tegelijk met grote interne problemen kampt. Het autoritaire hindoenationalisme dreigt media, minderheden en oppositie monddood te maken. Eeuwenoude ongelijkheden dwarsbomen de toekomstdroom van 500 miljoen jongeren. Goris biedt niet alleen het broodnodige inzicht in een onzichtbare gigant. In een onzekere tijd van conflict en polarisering geeft hij ook context en duiding voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in de maalstroom van de wereldgebeurtenissen. 'Weinig westerse journalisten kennen India zo goed.' - Amitav Ghosh 'Even noodzakelijk als lezenswaardig. Ik bewonder Gie Goris al jaren.' - David Van Reybrouck

As the sun begins to set over Louisiana one October day in 1943, a young black man faces the final hours of his life: at midnight, eighteen-year-old Willie Jones will be executed by electric chair for raping a white girl - a crime some believe he did not commit. In a tale taut with tension, events unfold hour by hour from the perspectives of nine people involved. They include Willie himself, who knows what really happened, and his father, desperately trying to reach the town jail to see his son one last time; the prosecuting lawyer, haunted by being forced to seek the death penalty against his convictions, and his wife, who believes Willie to be innocent; the priest who has become a friend to Willie; and a mother whose only son is fighting in the Pacific, bent on befriending her black neighbours in defiance of her husband. In this exceptionally powerful novel, Elizabeth Winthrop explores matters of justice, racism and the death penalty in a fresh, subtle and profoundly affecting way. Her kaleidoscopic narrative allows us to inhabit the lives of her characters and see them for what they are - complex individuals, making fateful choices we might not condone, but can understand.
