Read it:

Pakistan, 1979 to 2026. A Karachi garment factory burns with its exits locked; two courts find it was arson over an extortion demand; the Supreme Court acquits the only men condemned. The same court finds an intelligence agency handed politicians Rs 140 million before an election; nobody is prosecuted. A police superintendent is sanctioned in Washington and acquitted at home. Frozen millions return from London to pay a developer's debt. Billions move through accounts in the names of a peon, a rickshaw driver and a man beside a sewage canal. Covers Malik Riaz and Bahria Town, Asif Ali Zardari and the PPP, Nawaz Sharif and the Avenfield flats, Imran Khan and the Al-Qadir Trust, Agha Hasan Abedi and BCCI, Uzair Baloch and the People's Aman Committee, and Rao Anwar.
