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 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.
