A Case of Exploding Mangoes – Mohammed Hanif

Power, paranoia and conspiracy collide in a wickedly funny reimagining of the mysterious 1988 plane crash that killed Pakistan’s military ruler, General Zia ul-Haq.

Through a cast of schemers, spies, soldiers and civilians, Mohammed Hanif turns a historical mystery into a sharp political satire about corruption and the absurdities of authority. Blending history with fiction, this darkly comic novel offers intrigue with an irreverent edge.

If you liked Catch-22 by Joseph Heller or The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, you’ll like this.
