The plot of Swarup's Six Suspects should sound familiar. Vicky Rai, the spoiled son of a UP chief minister, walks into a fashionable restaurant; when waitress Ruby Gill refuses to serve him a drink, he kills her. Seven years later, Vicky Rai is murdered at one of his own parties. Six of the people there are carrying guns, but which one of them did it?
Few readers will have difficulty recognising the real-life crime that inspired the book
