I Lie in Wait  (English, Paperback, Vivek Vijayan)

This will certainly get your blood pumping if you are in the mood for crime! This thriller, set in the scenic settings of Kerala, transcends the conventional concepts of a hero and a villain and is painted in its entirety with shades of grey. As the author rips through the facade of the colourful state, he describes the heights of lawlessness that loom over the state and the world of crime that is no longer limited only to the hardened criminals. The most sought after model and celebrity anchor, Reishma Tharakan, is mercilessly murdered and displayed in a macabre manner. Police Commissioner Siddharth Mahadevan is assigned to lead the investigation, where he quickly realises there is more to the case than meets the eye. Is the White Collar criminal Syndicate of Narcotics a bite too much for him? Or are the Syndicate in for its toughest battle yet?
