The Dirty Dozen: Hitmen of the Mumbai Underworld Kindle Edition

In the series of Mumbai mafia related books, this is a great addition to add more details and color to zaidi and his characters. The thoroughly researched book adds tremendous value to the information present on mafia and their Hirnen. A fun read overall.

Author has tried to glorify the bitumen but fails to either evoke compassion or hatred. Very distant and non engaging style of writing. Makes you wonder if he was intact really the journo in question!

The narrative is rambling in nature and at times without context for the tales. However for those readers who are even vaguely familiar with the 80s underworld in Mumbai this is a good, solid read. Given there are very few books of this period Gabriel Khan does a good job of pulling together the stories of key characters from the underworld. Recommended for a good read for those interested in the Mumbai of the 80s.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Simple yet similar stories. Easy to read and not heavy duty. Not as good as Hussain zaidi books

It is a nicely written book which has some of the most interesting stories of Mumbai underworld. Being a millennial who grew up in Mumbai, it was a crazy experience reading these stories of underworld crimes which were happening while I was going to school as a teenager. It was like a parallel world to the one I was living in, which had murders on the streets (that now I have traveled on) involving AK-47. It is worth a read. After finishing this book now I am craving for the full story. I might take up Dongri to Dubai soon.

It's a good timepass read. But many paragraphs are copied from old newspaper and Wikipedia, don't know if the writer is same or different for book and newspaper. Searching any gangster name in Google can give you exact paragraphs which you have read in the book.Overall I am a fan of crime Stories so it was the good read for me.

Thrilling tales about the Bombay mafia focussing on some infamous hitmen of different gangs..Could do with more details & revealing certain open secrets though.Anyways, it was a very racy, easy, well written & interesting book. Hugely enjoyed it.
