• Description :
  Indelbed is a lonely youngster living in the incredibly chaotic and dense city of Dhaka in a dilapidated mansion. The black sheep of their clan, the formerly distinguished Khan Rahman family, is his father, Dr. Kaikobad. Indelbed's mother's official cause of death, "Death by Indelbed," is all he knows about her. His father, a drunken, petty widower, forbids Indelbed from attending school. However, Indelbed and his elder cousin, the witty slacker named Rais, discover that Indelbed's father was actually a magician and a reliable emissary to the world of djinns when Dr. Kaikobad enters a paranormal coma. However, it turns out that the djinns are not happy, and as a result, Indelbed, who is ten years old, is the target of a "hunt." Indelbed is still in disbelief that genies genuinely exist and is forced to flee. Before long, the boys find themselves at the heart of a major djinn dispute that has implications for the continuation of life as we know it and is connected to the ongoing effects of a long-ago conflict. A darkly humorous fantasy adventure, Djinn City is a masterful sequel to Saad Z. Hossain's critically acclaimed first book, Escape from Baghdad.
