Black Friday
Black Friday is a gripping, in-depth non-fiction account of the 1993 Bombay bombings, tracing the chilling conspiracy that spanned borders and the sprawling investigation that followed. Written by Hussain Zaidi, India’s number one crime writer, this meticulously researched book invites readers who love true crime, investigative reporting, and Indian history. With a sober, unflinching tone, it offers a powerful look at a city—and a country—under reckoning, and at the resilience of Bombay’s people.
Structured around years of reporting and interviews, Black Friday unfolds in a documentary-style narrative that reads like a riveting inquiry. Zaidi spent four years on meticulous research, speaking with close associates of Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon, as well as police investigators and on-the-ground witnesses. The result is a deeply reported account that moves beyond headlines to illuminate motives, planning, and the sprawling web of connections that made the attacks possible.
It takes readers into the heart of a conspiracy that spanned several countries and the massive investigation that followed—an examination of the criminals, the corrupt law enforcement agents who abetted the plot, the investigators who would stop at nothing, and the people of Bombay whose resilience this book honors.
