” –Lee Child This is the age of vice, where money, pleasure, and power are everything, and the family ties that bind can also kill.
New Delhi, 3 a.
m.
A speeding Mercedes jumps the curb and in the blink of an eye, five people are dead.
It’s a rich man’s car, but when the dust settles there is no rich man at all, just a shell-shocked servant who cannot explain the strange series of events that led to this crime.
Nor can he foresee the dark drama that is about to unfold.
Deftly shifting through time and perspective in contemporary India, Age of Vice is an epic, action-packed story propelled by the seductive wealth, startling corruption, and bloodthirsty violence of the Wadia family — loved by some, loathed by others, feared by all.
In the shadow of lavish estates, extravagant parties, predatory business deals and calculated political influence, three lives become dangerously intertwined: Ajay is the watchful servant, born into poverty, who rises through the family’s ranks.
Sunny is the playboy heir who dreams of outshining his father, whatever the cost.
And Neda is the curious journalist caught between morality and desire.
Against a sweeping plot fueled by loss, pleasure, greed, yearning, violence and revenge, will these characters’ connections become a path to escape, or a trigger of further destruction? Equal parts crime thriller and family saga, transporting readers from the dusty villages of Uttar Pradesh to the urban energy of New Delhi, Age of Vice is an intoxicating novel of gangsters and lovers, false friendships, forbidden romance, and the consequences of corruption.
It is binge-worthy entertainment at its literary best.

”——《纽约时报》 ——李童子 这是一个罪恶的时代，金钱、享乐和权力就是一切，束缚的家庭纽带也可以杀人。
新德里，凌晨 3 点，一辆飞驰的奔驰车冲过路边，眨眼之间，就有 5 人丧生。
这是一辆有钱人的车，但当尘埃落定后，根本就没有有钱人，只有一个震惊的仆人，无法解释导致这起犯罪的一系列奇怪事件。
他也无法预见即将上演的黑暗大戏。
