Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida—war photographer, gambler, and closet queen—has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira Lake and he has no idea who killed him. In a country where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers, and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest. But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali.

Critic reviews
"The strength of the book lies in its energy, its mixture of humour and heartwrenching emotion, its twisting narrative, its playful use of cricketing facts and characters, and its occasional blazing anger about what Sri Lanka has done to itself..." (Kamila Shamsie)
"A crazy ambidextrous delight." (Michael Ondaatje)
"Bristling with energy and confidence." (Sunday Times)

Outstanding
Very realistic writing. Googled a lot while reading the book. That itself speaks volumes about the quality of the writing

True Masterpiece
Having spent much time on the island, this book is a perfect group of characters you know, love, loathe, and are. A read for any fan of sports, anyone that has been blessed in the Lankan sun, or anyone that enjoys realistic dialogue and a great story.
It’s the Dan Brown of cricket
