    About this ebook


    'India's literary storm trooper' - Business StandardFrom his state-of-the art control room - providing security to 'smart homes' of India's rich - ex-army man Ashwin can see and hear pretty much everything happening in and around his clients' homes. Through strategically placed cameras he is aware of all the nefarious goings-on behind the closed doors of the very wealthy. But when one of his clients dies suddenly, with his Swiss bank number winking enticingly on his computer screen, Ashwin realizes the full potential of this brilliant system ... and his intentions change. Moving at breakneck pace from the protagonist's control room to the sprawling houses of Delhi's rich and famous, Mukul Deva crafts what is probably India's first techno crime novel. This crackling thriller will have you riveted right till the jaw-dropping sting-in-the-tail end. 'You can smell the gunpowder. Such is the power of the words of Mukul Deva' - The Hindu
