Gunboy
About This Book
Rannwara is a steel town run by its mafia, and twelve-year-old Arvind and his best friend Sudipto do not fit in there. Every afternoon after school, Jaggi Ranade, the son of the area's most powerful crime boss, makes them pay for it. At their age there is nowhere to run, and no one to stop him. Then a hitman arrives. Amar Singh is silent, fast and deadly, and other killers speak of him with awe. Part of his legend is that he never seems to die. The rest belongs to his weapon, a gun of gleaming white inlaid with gold and enamel, said to be a weapon of the gods that picks its own shooter. When Arvind and Amar cross paths, the gun ends up in the boy's hands. It offers him a way to settle the score for every humiliation he has swallowed. One shot is all it takes to set the town alight, and Rannwara has been waiting to blow. Shreyas Rajagopal's Gunboy carries the reader from the dusty, lawless interior of India to the back alleys of Mumbai's underworld. It is a fast-moving revenge story about a boy up against a corrupt world hungry for power.
