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 their fears 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. At times exuberant, at times heartbreaking, Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line traces the unfolding of a tragedy while capturing the fierce warmth and resilience of a community forged in times of trouble"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Missing children $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children $x Crimes against $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20220311010510.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062549.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20201006012710.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200407010428.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200131010041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5992122643F711EAB619677197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
