Book description
How can an enterprising newspaper reporter sell his Babji dolls when
theres a beheaded street youth, a Rave Messiah battling a berserk God
Squad, and a conniving new editor to deal with? Especially when hes
suffering all the symptoms of dengue fever? Hakeem Jinnah is back and
as politically incorrect as ever. The chain-smoking, headline-chasing
hypochondriac is in a race to find a killer and help save his buddy
Sergeant Grahams career. But a bevy of She Demons bedevil him at each
turn. Soon Jinnah is entangled in a cultic web that threatens his
friends, his family, and his life.
Fast-paced, funny, and suspenseful, this is the second Mister Jinnah
novel featuring the larger-than-life crime reporter. Just as in his
debut adventure, Mister Jinnah: Securities, the flirtatious
and always resourceful Jinnah has to use every ounce of his
investigative genius to solve a crime and make a few extra dollars on
the side.
This is the second novel by Hauka, of New Westminster, B. C.,
featuring smart and funny news reporter Hakeem Jinnah. The setting is
Vancouver and it's the time of Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light, but
things are definitely not bright for Mr. Jinnah. It all starts with his
attempt to sell some Babji dolls, which leads to a beheaded body, a
wildly off-track rave and a crazed cult. He has a new and none-too-happy
editor, and he's convinced that he's coming down with a case of dengue
fever. Can things get worse? Mr. Jinnah's first outing, in
Mr.
Jinnah: Securities
, was adapted for television.
She Demons
should set him up for a series.
