On the stands
This is the second book festival after Ahmedabad where Diary, Deceit and Death has traveled with its publisher. How I wish I could be there in person as well!
Overwhelmed with the response
To see the cover on the banner and my book on the stands makes me emotional beyond words.

To all my readers, thank you for showering so much love on this detective thriller. If you are in Pune, don’t forget to visit the Vishwakarma Stall B-28 in Hall C of Fergusson College.
