A searing, mordantly funny, state-of-the-nation satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war from award-winning author Shehan Karunatilaka.

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 Beira Lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time when scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts who cluster around him can attest. But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.

'Karunatilaka has a real lightness of touch.'
The Observer

'Celebrate the arrival of the Great Sri Lankan Novel.'
The Times

'It is clear that Karunatilaka is a fearless writer, perhaps the most important quality in a writer.' (on Chats with the Dead)
