It’s a rich man’s car, but when the dust settles there is no rich man at all, just a shell-shocked servant who cannot explain the strange series of events that led to this crime. Nor can he foresee the dark drama that is about to unfold. Deftly shifting through time and perspective in contemporary India, Age of Vice is an epic, action-packed story propelled by the seductive wealth, startling corruption, and bloodthirsty violence of the Wadia family — loved by some, loathed by others, feared by all. In the shadow of lavish estates, extravagant parties, predatory business deals and calculated political influence, three lives become dangerously intertwined: Ajay is the watchful servant, born into poverty, who rises through the family’s ranks. Sunny is the playboy heir who dreams of outshining his father, whatever the cost. And Neda is the curious journalist caught between morality and desire. Against a sweeping plot fueled by loss, pleasure, greed, yearning, violence and revenge, will these characters’ connections become a path to escape, or a trigger of further destruction?  Equal parts crime thriller and family saga, transporting readers from the dusty villages of Uttar Pradesh to the urban energy of New Delhi, Age of Vice is an intoxicating novel of gangsters and lovers, false friendships, forbidden romance, and the consequences of corruption. It is binge-worthy entertainment at its literary best. 538 $a Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 547768 KB). 650 17 $a Fiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Literature. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Mystery. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Athavale, Vidish. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=8882087 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=056F60AB-D8E2-4B32-91C6-FC7065451712&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7B056F60AB-D8E2-4B32-91C6-FC7065451712%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/%7B056F60AB-D8E2-4B32-91C6-FC7065451712%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/056f60ab-d8e2-4b32-91c6-fc7065451712 $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230204010101.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9AB18EA6A45911EDA94333522DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
