The first copy of my second novel – Diary, Deceit, and Death (A Raya Ray adventure)

Receiving the first copy

There couldn’t have been a better month than August (Ma’s birthday month) to announce the second book in the Detective Raya Ray series – Diary, Deceit, and Death. I received the first copy last evening from my publisher Vishwakarma Publications for proofing. The amazing cover is by The Book Baker, also my literary agent.

This is a thriller of greed, betrayal and masked identities of 2 families spanning 3 generations in 4 cities over 5 decades. Will Raya be able to race against time to deliver justice?

Well, that’s for you to find out once the book is released in the coming weeks. It would be available on Amazon, Flipkart, and in all major bookstores across the country.

Now time for me to get back to give the finishing touch to this fast-paced Detective thriller.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Cover Reveal of my detective thriller -‘ Diary, Deceit and Death ‘

I’m thrilled to reveal the cover of my second book in the Detective Raya Ray series.

Titled ‘DIARY, DECEIT & DEATH’, the story takes Raya into a sleepy, old town in Bengal full of palatial buildings, deadly secrets, and people one can never trust.

Caught in this deadly maze is Raya as she navigates through a case involving two families across three generations in four cities over five decades!

The cover is designed by The Book Bakers, a leading literary agency. Vishwakarma Publication, one of the country’s leading publishing houses, is publishing the book.

To learn more, pre-order this amazing book coming week onwards through Amazon India or Flipkart!

The last proofreading session before publishing

Diving into the last proofreading session for my upcoming novel in the Detective Raya Ray series before the manuscript goes for publishing. Launch expected between May end-mid June’24. Fingers crossed. Hope things go as per plan.

The official announcement of my upcoming book in the Detective Raya Ray series

A couple of years have passed since I released my debut thriller introducing Detective Raya Ray. While I started writing the next in the series soon after and was signed on by one of India’s leading literary agencies, The Book Bakers, I wanted to create a puzzle to challenge Raya and also the reader’s crime-solving skills. Dissatisfied with two manuscripts, I decided to move away from the book and enrolled for my third master’s, MFA in creative writing, in Nov 2019. Post-completion of the course, I had a fresh perspective of looking at a new Raya Ray story.

‘Diary, Deceit, and Death – Raya Ray Returns’ took shape in the form of a manuscript, which The Book Bakers successfully placed to one of the country’s top publishers Vishwakarma Publications.
