Sachin Warty says, ‘Northeast India’s sheer physical beauty, and relaxed pace of life was my catharsis. It gave me the time and opportunity to indulge in a dormant urge – to write – and I fell back on thrillers, as that genre with its dark take and gripping plots, always excited me. And Black Sol was the result. This is a first in a series of thrillers which I hope will enthrall readers.’</p>
