Hari Kunzru's latest novel is 'Gods Without Men'

Hari Mohan Nath Kunzru is a British novelist cum journalist with a Kashmiri Pandit ancestry.  His latest book Gods Without Men (2011) is a complex story that moves back and forth in time and it reminds one of time shifts in David Mitchell's novel Coud Atlas.

A four year old boy Raj, of a wealthy couple from New York mysteriously disappears during a family vacation in the California desert. A media trial follows.

Random House  Synopsis...

However, the Mojave is a place of strange power, and before Raj reappears inexplicably unharmed—but not unchanged—the fate of this young family will intersect with that of many others, echoing the stories of all those who have traveled before them.

Driven by the energy and cunning of Coyote, the mythic, shape-shifting trickster, Gods Without Men is full of big ideas, but centered on flesh-and-blood characters who converge at an odd, remote town in the shadow of a rock formation called the Pinnacles. Viscerally gripping and intellectually engaging, it is, above all, a heartfelt exploration of the search for pattern and meaning in a chaotic universe
