never even met in an old, creaky house in the middle of nowhere. It is all monumentally unfair. But on the first night, Evie sees a strange, ghostly figure at the window.

‘ Francis Itty Cora stirred up the reading public in Kerala for its thematic audacity, play of ideas and racy pulp rendering.’ – Outlook
When ex–US Marine Xavier Itty Cora realizes that the secret to resolving his personal troubles lies in the story of his ancestor, the scandalous, cunning pepper merchant Francis Itty Cora, he becomes obsessed with unearthing the truth. As Xavier begins to turn the pages of history with the help of Kochi-based sensual scholars and their friends and lovers, an intricate tale shrouded in secrecy and myths is unveiled. He discovers a man who is as befuddling as he is bedazzling: a mathematical genius, a figure revered by a mysterious cult and a person of rampant sexual desires.
Set in present-day Kerala, war-torn Iraq, ancient Alexandria and Renaissance Florence, TD Ramakrishnan’s Francis Itty Cora, a classic in Malayalam literature, is a provocative reimagining of history. With its complex plot twists and fascinating characters, this remarkable translation is just as unputdownable and unforgettable as the original.
Talking about the book, author TD Ramakrishnan says, ‘Francis Itty Cora, a novel written in Malayalam, was read and celebrated by the youth and avidly discussed in academic circles. I am happy that the English translation of the novel published by Harper Collins will reach people across the world.’
Priya K Nair, translator of the novel, adds, ‘Francis Itty Cora is a narrative that traverses time and space and plays with history, myth, magic and realism. The novel written on a large canvas explores multiple manifestations of desire.’

In one of the most luxurious cities on earth...
A billion-dollar deal is about to go badly wrong. A lavish night out is about to end in murder. And the British government is about to be plunged into crisis.
In the heart of the British establishment...
Lord Hartley, the latest in a line of peers going back over two hundred years, lies dying. But his will triggers an inheritance with explosive consequences.
Two deaths. Continents apart. No obvious connection.
So why are they both at the centre of a master criminal's plot for revenge?
And can Scotland Yard's elite squad uncover the truth before it's too late...
Finally, an Indian murder mystery that’s truly fun and satisfying When DB, the mild-mannered editor of a Delhi tabloid, is poisoned, everyone is puzzled. He had no enemies. Who would possibly want to kill him? When there are more murders, the TV stations, the police—and the nation!—go into a frenzy.
Two mismatched journalists team up to solve the mystery:
Mridula, a waspish, middle-aged misanthrope, and Monami, youthful, eager and passionate about detective fiction. As the bodies pile up, Mridula and Monami must go deep into the mind of a murderer.
'If you've been wondering whether India will ever produce a world-class rock band, think no further. The Flow is here.'
Nirvana’s life is a mess—he is a jilted lover, a bored addict and a disillusioned journalist. Nothing, it seems, can get him out of his funk.
Until one afternoon, when he discovers a pile of back issues of India’s premier youth magazine from the 1970s, Junior Standard. An article on a famed rock contest of the time catches his eye. It mentions a band called The Flow and their frontman, Max Bulandi, hailed as India’s answer to Jim Morrison. Nirvana is consumed by the article and when a chance meeting with an old Bombay rocker whets his appetite further, he embarks on a search for the mysterious Max Bulandi and the early pioneers of the Indian rock music scene. As he traces the lost history of The Flow across Bombay, Calcutta, Shillong and Benares, it opens up to him a world of riffs and beats that transforms his life quite completely.
Exhilarating and utterly original, The Extraordinary Life of Max Bulandi is at once a coming-of-age story with a twist and a much-awaited hat-tip to the legends of Indian rock music.
