{"product_id":"9789351363118","title":"Necropolis","description":"Razia: a creature of the night and a political player, a well-dressed clubber and a lover of poetry. Hushed voices say she may be hundreds of years old, almost as old as her home: Delhi, the city of tombs, at once majestic and in disarray.  Razia is muse and antagonist to DCP Sajan Dayal, whose centuries-old roots lie in bureaucratic service. Assisting Dayal are Kapoor, a legend in the Delhi Police, and an idealistic young cop named Smita Dhingra, who - unlike Kapoor - is from the elite Indian Police Service. As the novel progresses, the officers' pursuit of a serial collector of fingers quickly spirals into encounters with would-be vampires and werewolves, rampant sexual violence, the political pressures that attend every aspect of life in a capital city - and, at every turn, Razia.  A first novel of unusual beauty, Necropolis weaves poetry, brothels, ministers and migrants into a heady, twisted and darkly entertaining tale, peeling back the layers from a city that is simultaneously in thrall to its past, hostage to its present and bitterly divided as to its future.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175319126256,"sku":"9789351363118","price":4.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789351363118_p0.jpg?v=1763674216","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789351363118","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
