Book Summary:

Mafia Queens of Mumbai (2011), co-authored by Hussain Zaidi and journalist Jane Borges, shines a spotlight on 13 compelling real-life stories of women who made their mark in the male-dominated underworld of Mumbai. These powerful figures ranged from brothel madams and drug lords to avengers who rose from tragedy—like Jenabai Daaruwali, Gangubai of Kamathipura, Sapna Didi, Mahalaxmi Papamani, and others. Zaidi's narrative brings together thorough investigative research, archival photographs, and vivid storytelling to portray how these women navigated gangster dynamics, leveraged influence, and occasionally took charge when male counterparts fell. Though the book remains factual, its vivid, almost cinematic treatment gives it the pace and drama of a thriller.

S. Hussain Zaidi is a celebrated Indian investigative journalist, author, and screenwriter, widely regarded as India’s most prolific crime writer. Born on February 28, 1968, in Mumbai, he spent over two decades reporting on organized crime, terror, and the Mumbai underworld for major publications such as The Asian Age, Indian Express, Mid-Day, and Mumbai Mirror before transitioning to full-time writing and mentorship.

Zaidi’s nonfiction works—including Black Friday, Dongri to Dubai, Byculla to Bangkok, and Mafia Queens of Mumbai—are deeply researched and narratively rich, blending factual rigor with compelling storytelling across decades of Mumbai’s criminal history.His first book, Black Friday, meticulously documented the 1993 Bombay bombings and inspired an Anurag Kashyap film adaptation in 2007.
