Press Release

Death in the Deccan by Aditya Sinha

HarperCollins India is delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of

DEATH IN THE DECCAN

by  Aditya Sinha

 

ABOUT THE BOOK

FOUR BODIES.

FIVE SUSPECTS.

SIX MOTIVES.

With a deadly pandemic reaching its peak across the country, the last thing Inspector Mona Ramteke, in Hyderabad training to be an ACP, wants is to be roped into a high-profile investigation. But when news arrives quite suddenly that four distinguished employees of a prominent media house have died in their office cabins on the same day, at around the same time, Mona is summoned to ‘crack the case as soon as possible’.

As if the intrigue surrounding the deaths is not enough, Mona finds herself caught in the midst of political feuds, information leaks, conspiracy theories churned out by the media and corporate warfare. As baffling links surface between the crimes and cricket and a temple to Ayn Rand, the case begins to look murkier than any she’s had to solve before.

Will Mona be able to untangle the knotty mystery before it’s too late, and more bodies begin to surface?

Talking about the book Aditya Sinha says, ‘This book was written by Mona Ramteke, a kickass Mumbai police investigator! I’m just her stenographer. And we’ve got half a dozen more stories lined up!’

Rashmi Menon, Executive Editor at HarperCollins India adds, ‘Aditya Sinha, in his signature style of blending a nail-biting whodunnit with wit and humour, brings you a book that’s sure to keep you awake through the night! A perfect choice if you’re looking for a gripping read, Death in the Deccan isn’t just a murder mystery full of twists and turns; it’s a thrill-ride through the mind of a super-cool police officer who stands up to a system working against her, trying to thwart her every move. Get ready to be dazzled, because ACP Mona Ramteke is in a league of her own!’
