Last Man in Tower

Aravind Adiga

Ruthless developer Dharmen Shah offers the residents of Vishram Society, a run-down but respectable apartment block in Mumbai, a generous sum to leave so he can build a luxury high-rise. Most agree, but retired schoolteacher Masterji refuses. As the demolition deadline nears, neighbors become enemies and acquaintances turn into conspirators who risk losing their humanity to claim their payday. A story of money, power, luxury and deprivation in booming Mumbai.
