Call #: FICTION THA Subjects Urban poor -- Fiction.   Street life -- Fiction.   Prostitutes -- Fiction.   Drug abuse -- Fiction.   Eunuchs -- Fiction.   Mumbai (India) -- Social conditions -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780571275762 (trade pbk.) Description:  304 p. ; 24 cm. Summary:  Shuklaji Street, in Old Bombay. In Rashid's opium room the air is thick and potent. A beautiful young woman leans to hold a long-stemmed pipe over a flame, her hair falling across her dark eyes. Around her, men sprawl and mutter in the gloom, each one drifting with his own tide. Here, people say that you introduce only your worst enemy to opium. Outside, stray dogs lope in packs. Street vendors hustle. Hookers call for custom through the bars of their cages as their pimps slouch in doorways in the half-light. There is an underworld whisper of a new terror: the Pathar Maar, the stone killer, whose victims are the nameless, invisible poor. There are too many of them to count in this broken city.
