Velvet Knives

Raghav Malhotra has finally made it to the top. At thirty-four, he is the newly appointed COO of one of Mumbai's most powerful technology companies. The promotion should be the beginning of everything he has worked for. Instead, the company's founder is dead.

What looks like an accident begins to feel increasingly deliberate — and then Raghav meets Alisha Verma, a brilliant strategy consultant whose intelligence is matched only by her ability to keep secrets. She knows things she shouldn't. She asks questions she shouldn't. And Raghav finds himself dangerously attracted to her.

As suspicion spreads through the company's polished corridors, alliances fracture and hidden motives emerge. Every conversation seems to carry a second meaning. Every attraction comes with a price. And somewhere behind the glass, someone is quietly pulling the strings.

Raghav must uncover the truth before he becomes the next casualty. But in a city where power, ambition and desire collide, the greatest danger may not be discovering who is behind the murders. It may be discovering who you were willing to trust.

For fans of: Gone Girl and Monica, O My Darling — corporate noir where power, desire, and truth all have a price. For adult readers (18+).
