Book Description

Nov 8 2010 A Mister Jinnah Mystery (Book 2)

How can an enterprising newspaper reporter sell his Babji dolls when theres a beheaded street youth, a Rave Messiah battling a berserk God Squad, and a conniving new editor to deal with? Especially when hes suffering all the symptoms of dengue fever? Hakeem Jinnah is back and as politically incorrect as ever. The chain-smoking, headline-chasing hypochondriac is in a race to find a killer and help save his buddy Sergeant Grahams career. But a bevy of She Demons bedevil him at each turn. Soon Jinnah is entangled in a cultic web that threatens his friends, his family, and his life.

Fast-paced, funny, and suspenseful, this is the second Mister Jinnah novel featuring the larger-than-life crime reporter. Just as in his debut adventure, Mister Jinnah: Securities, the flirtatious and always resourceful Jinnah has to use every ounce of his investigative genius to solve a crime and make a few extra dollars on the side.

Review

An Ismaili Muslim with obsessive-compulsive quirks, Jinnah is one of the genre's more interesting crime solvers.

(Publishers Weekly)

This is the second novel by Hauka, of New Westminster, B.C., featuring smart and funny news reporter Hakeem Jinnah. The setting is Vancouver and it's the time of Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Light, but things are definitely not bright for Mr. Jinnah. It all starts with his attempt to sell some Babji dolls, which leads to a beheaded body, a wildly off-track rave and a crazed cult. He has a new and none-too-happy editor, and he's convinced that he's coming down with a case of dengue fever. Can things get worse? Mr. Jinnah's first outing, in Mr. Jinnah: Securities, was adapted for television. She Demons should set him up for a series. (The Globe and Mail)

"She Demons is an entertaining tale with a fast-moving plot and dialogue peppered with repartee. The result is a light and original read that signals more good things to come from this talented author."

(Sherbrooke Record)

"This fast-moving plot takes the reader on a tour of Vancouver, from its grungy under-belly to the classy West Vancouver mansions, with Jinnah in his Gucci loafers and his van, known as the "satellite-guided Love Machine". There's grit and violence along with humourous dialogue and memorable characters."

(Mysterymaven.com 2011-04-01)

4.0 out of 5 stars Humorous and Engaging Whodunit Jun 11 2011
By Debra Purdy Kong TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
With the decapitation of a former drug dealer and police informant, crime reporter Hakeem Jinnah believes he's come across a big story, particularly after the investigating officer consults with him at the crime scene. It isn't long before Jinnah discovers that the murder might involve a cult led by the dynamic Lionel Simons. The cult, however, has made an enemy in the Reverend Peter Hobbes, leader of the God Squad, and when these two groups collide, sparks fly. When Jinnah's son, Saleem starts hanging out with cult members and Jinnah finds himself being scooped by the TV reporter he once mentored, sparks start flying in Jinnah's life as well.

She Demons is a humorous and engaging whodunit that is all about human foibles and the cost of ambition. Author Dan Hauka has created a likeable, well-rounded protagonist in Jinnah: a funny, hypochrondriac out to make a buck and a name for himself, while trying to be a good family man. I enjoyed Jinnah so much that I can't wait to read more of this intriguing character.
