master storyteller Ashwin Sanghi’s

nail-biting new thriller series

featuring ex-cop Prakash Kadam, aka ‘Kutta’ Kadam

This new year, brace yourself for a new crime-hunter in town – Prakash Kadam, aka ‘Kutta’ Kadam – starring in master storyteller, Ashwin Sanghi’s exciting new thriller series set in contemporary India and slated for release in January 2024. Razor Sharp is now available on preorder.

Talking about the series, Ashwin Sanghi says, “My readers know me for my Bharat Series in the Indic space. While new books in the Bharat Series will continue to appear at intervals of every two years as usual, I will now also give my readers a series of books in an entirely new crime thriller series every alternate year, starting 2024. As you know, I had co-written two crime thrillers along with James Patterson in 2014 and 2017. Both these titles became international bestsellers. The new series, titled ‘Kutta Kadam’, is my first solo outing in the crime thriller genre and I hope that these books and their future web series adaptations will keep my fans engrossed. I am truly delighted that HarperCollins India will be the publishing home for this exciting new series of books.”

Poulomi Chatterjee, Publisher – HarperCollins India, says, “I’m absolutely delighted to be publishing Razor Sharp, the first book in a new series by Ashwin Sanghi, author of the much-lauded and hugely popular Bharat Series of books. When we got news of Ashwin’s plans for a set of edge-of-your-seat crime novels featuring a certain ‘Kutta Kadam’, we knew we had yet another winner on our hands. Baffling crimes, twisted minds, cat-and-mouse games, a flawed but spike-sharp investigator, the superbly etched underbelly of Mumbai, and Ashwin’s deft touch to make each book unputdownable. These thrillers promise it all!”

About Razor Sharp:

A baffling crime. A rundown ex-cop. But he’s their best bet.

A city on edge

A ruthless serial killer stalks the streets of Mumbai, leaving behind a gruesome trail of tortured victims. As the city reels in terror, the authorities grapple with a vital question: What links these seemingly random targets?

A dogged investigator

Enter Prakash Kadam, once a decorated cop but now an angry, bitter wreck of a man haunted by his past. Summoned to put an end to the madness, he finds himself neck-deep in an investigation mired in police sluggishness and antiquated forensics.

A deadly game

As old enmities resurface and perplexing twists in the case push him to the limit, can Kadam find the killer before it is too late? Or will he lose someone close to him—again?

With Razor Sharp, the first book in an exciting new series, Ashwin Sanghi demonstrates yet again his undisputed mastery at weaving complex, gripping thrillers that keep readers on the edge of their seats.
