<p>Riveting murder mysteries set in the Maximum City—by three of India’s finest writers.</p><p>‘[A] page-turner…Pinto draws you into a world of ageing queens, male prostitutes, corrupt cops and other very well portrayed characters…MURDER IN MAHIM succeeds not just because it is a well-plotted whodunit but also because it is a non-judgmental tale of characters rarely cast in Mumbai’s hoary</p><p>narratives.’—Hindustan Times&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>‘A double murder mystery that unfolds with the measured pace, bravura and complexity of a Carnatic classical performance…Swaminathan expertly braids layers of intrigue and secret together to keep us on tenterhooks till the end. As with all her Lalli books, the road to discovery in [RAAGAM TAANAM PALLAVI] is paved with richly textured prose [and] characters who shine.’— Mint Lounge</p><p>‘[A] delightful and well-written bagatelle [set in 1896] which unrolls with the pace and style of a British television mini-series…the pleasure in [THE KIDNAPPING OF MARK TWAIN] comes from the journey even more than the destination.’—Asian review of Books</p>

<p>After the tremendous success of The Spy Chronicles, A.S. Dulat and Asad Durrani participated in a series of conversations on the psychology of war and peace; these have evolved into this fascinating book, written with psychiatrist Neil K. Aggarwal.</p><p>Covert takes the reader right into the head of the two spymasters. Delving into their personal and professional trajectories that moulded them in the early years, the conversation traces the extent to which their Indian and Pakistani identities have defined them. Masterfully moderated by Aggarwal, the discussion then turns to the domain of international relations, exploring why the governments of India and Pakistan collaborate in certain areas, but not in others. What emerges is a remarkably forthright, provocatively honest appraisal of the peacebuilding process between the two nations that appear inherently hostile to each other but share so much in terms of history and cultural identity.</p><p>The dialogues in Covert reveal a deep camaraderie between Dulat and Durrani, who have headed the intelligence operations for their respective countries. But more importantly perhaps, it provides deep insights into the shadowy world of negotiation and subterfuge. It is an eye-opener and a must-read for anyone invested in peace and amity in South Asia.</p>
