An Enemy of the People – 9781415211458

Description

Mac Mackenjee is a tax collector in a country that refuses to pay taxes on principle and in an age when populism is on the rise. Mac is an expert at uncovering hidden ‘black money’ and soon finds himself unravelling a high-level conspiracy to loot public company revenues. Meanwhile, his wife Tejal, a lawyer, defends a young revolutionary accused of destroying statues and burning buses.

As these two strands intersect, Mac and Tejal are entangled in a web of tax cheats, forensic investigators, activists, politicians, billionaires, and even a baker. Amidst rising threats, the couple grapples with their minority status and the universal middle-class challenge of finding the right school for their sons.
