Inspired by an obscure Chinese custom and based on actual 21st century events, Srinath Adiga's debut novel is a current, chillingly dark satire in the mold of Brave New World and 1984. It is tale of greed, corruption and how the very things that make us human can lead to our demise.

They said you can't take your money with you when you die. What if they were wrong?

Profound, intense and cleverly plotted with unexpected twists and turns, Dead Money is a multi-faceted satire in the vein of 1984 and Brave New World about capitalism, religion and how the very things that make us human can ultimately lead to our demise.

A stock market trader in Hong Kong desperate to pay off a fifty-three-million-dollar gangster debt. A mysterious suicide bomber in Mumbai under the spell of a dangerous myth. A banker in Amsterdam waging a lone battle to avert a global catastrophe.

Three men whose disparate journeys are connected by a dizzying chain of causes and effects from Afterlife Dollars. A product based on Chinese mythology that promises happiness in the next world, yet has a devastating effect on this one. As the characters grapple with their individual moral dilemmas, their choices will affect the rest of humanity.

Industry Reviews

“A memorable premise lifts Adiga’s impressive debut. Adiga makes the central conceit work as he effectively sends up the tendency of people to believe anything.”—Publishers Weekly
