Inhaltsangabe

Howzzat!! centres on a cricket scandal in the United Islands, an archipelago of eight islands in the Indian Ocean. The novel explores match-fixing, illegal bidding for team franchises and money-laundering amid a parallel tussle between United Islands dominant ruling political party, the United Democratic Party (UDP), led by Carlotta Rossa, and the opposition of United Republic Party (URP), led by Suresh Singh, to seize control of the cash-rich United Cricket League (UCL). The central characters in Howzzat!! are Sameer Shinde, the western regional head of United Island s revenue enforcement agency known as the EOD (Economic Offences Directorate), and Dinesh Kumar (DK), head of the UCL and the man Shinde is targeting in his crusade for justice. The novel traverses the various islands of United Islands and across the Indian Ocean to Mauritius as it penetrates a world of drugs and espionage. Shinde, the narrator of the story, is angling for a tour de force not mission impossible as he encounters a spectrum of people, ranging from the unsavoury to the upright, in his quest to hold DK accountable. But who will be the man of the match?
