As to Bombay, a further very long detective story

which fail to get noticed even on a

dictionary.

Thank you for the comments on faraway
hardboiled.
Here recently I read several sections of a book
titled
Shantaram, and it seemed fairly hardboiled
and
interesting. It came out maybe 8 months ago. I
can't
remember the author and I'm not positive about
the
spelling of the title. It is mostly set in
the
criminal underworld of Bombay.
