The Telegraph, 30 December 2011:

Oswald Pereira takes you into the gritty world of the Mumbai underworld and the equally gritty one of the newsroom. Chaos is unleashed when a frontpage story about the arrest of a mafia leader misfires and a leading newspaper must undo the damage. Planted news, underworld dons, corrupt policemen and hawkish journalists hungry for a scoop crowd this crime thriller. With the death of a Mumbai crime reporter and the arrest of another journalist accused of passing on information to his murderers still fresh in public memory, Pereira’s story has a chilling ring of truth to it.
