Moryaa Re!

Moryaa Re! is set in Mumbai during Ganeshotsav, a season that turns deadly. A killer with a dark, twisted imagination is terrorizing the city, committing a gruesome murder every day. His victims are wealthy and famous people, celebrities and VIPs who share one fault in common.

The elite Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police is often compared to London's Scotland Yard. Yet there is one thing its detectives have never managed: catching psychopathic serial predators such as rapists, pedophiles and killers in a city of 20 million. The question hanging over the story is whether the police can stop the killer from striking tomorrow when they have not yet solved today's murder.

Mark Manuel's crime thriller is a gritty, fast-moving read with a tight plot that feels drawn from the news. Mumbai's festivals, colorful people and unpredictable monsoon supply a dark, rain-soaked backdrop for the killings. The book carries a foreword by Amitabh Bachchan.
