Description

Indelbed is a lonely kid living in a crumbling mansion in super dense, super chaotic Dhaka.

His father, Dr. Kaikobad, is the black sheep of their clan, the once illustrious Khan Rahman family.

A drunken loutish widower, he refuses to allow Indelbed to go to school and the only thing Indelbed knows about his mother is the official cause of her early demise: 'Death by Indelbed'.

But when Dr. Kaikobad falls into a supernatural coma, Indelbed and his older cousin, the wise-cracking slacker, rais, learn that Indelbed's dad was, in fact, a magician and a trusted emissary to the djinn world.

But the djinns, it turns out, are displeased and one of the consequences of their displeasure is that a 'hunt' is announced with ten-year-old Indelbed as prey.

Still reeling from the fact that genies actually exist, Indelbed finds himself on the run.

Soon, the boys are at the center of a great djinn controversy, one tied to the continuing fallout from an ancient war, with ramifications for the future of life as we know it.

Djinn city is a darkly comedic fantasy adventure and a brilliant follow-up to Saad Z.

Hossain's acclaimed first novel escape from Baghdad.
