If you look forward to waking up at 5:00 am to watch test cricket in austrlia, then this book is definately for you. But this is a great book for mystery fans too, the book is revitting as it depends on newspaper reports, interviews, letters and not just on first person narratives. Even after finishing this book, I'm not sure if its a true story or not. But this book has a fascinating take on how Sri Lanka creates so many mystery bowlers.

Suddenly out of nowhere comes an absolute stunner. Delight to read - mixing a deadly combo of cricket, investigation, national politics, liquor and betting!
It is a dense book, but the kind that you try and read sparingly lest it finishes. I will recommend it very highly to people who love the game of cricket, like to know more about our relatively lesser known neighbour, and above all are looking to have a good, engaging and intelligent read.
