Can highly recommend the novel of Tom Sharpe, whom I claim is one of the best satirist of the 20th century in the English language.

George MacDonald Fraser wrote a fabulous series of books beginning with Flashman. The character is taken from Tom Brown's school days, and he bangs his way throughout the world in the 19th century, by hook, crook, or nook he is present at almost every consequential event of the century, including the Boxer Rebellion, the Charge of the Light Brigade, Little Big Horn, and on and on, there might be ten novels or so.

Good autobiographical fiction about an Australian felon who escapes prison to India and becomes a success in the Indian underworld. The first person viewpoint serves to carry actively the reader through rich details of Indian life and personalities. Not a genré crime novel, but an easily readable and sharply observational view of life in Mumbai.
