However, he couldn't be more wrong. On his very first day in the sleepy town, he is accosted by a frightened man and attacked by two strangers. And so begins a spiral down an unexpected vortex of intruders, ghosts, hauntings and rumours. Armed with good instincts, a sharp scientific mind and two unlikely companions - gentle Tashi and the firebrand Opus - Kartik takes on the role of ghost hunter and private eye to unravel a web of mystery, deceit and supernatural events!

At the centre of it all stands the old and dilapidated mansion called the Iyer Bungalow. What is the mystery of this house? What do its ghosts want and what role does the mysterious DPRS have in all of this? Join this spunky trio as they make their way through the twisting bylanes of Kurseong, hot on the heels of villains both real and ghostly . . .

To vanquish him, Lord Vishnu is born again in his eighth avatar - Krishna, defender of dharma. Since his birth, Krishna has to fight evil in the form of monsters, demons, and ogres. But as he grows up, he observes that the real struggle of good against evil pits him not against shape-shifting monsters, but kings, princes, and brave warriors. Will Krishna be able to triumph over the darkness of greed and arrogance that has taken over the land? Will he be able to restore peace and dharma? The tale of Krishna is a journey through awe-inspiring magical lands - the breathtaking forests of Vrindavan, the magical city of Dwarka, and the arid battlefields of Kurukshetra - as he conquers evil through his wisdom and courage to put mankind back on the path to righteousness.

This one was published by a top publishers in India and written by an established author who happens to be a famous Mumbai socialite. After reading, my husband pointed out how a character in the book who was supposed to stand on the dais in a scene magically enters the event a few paragraphs later. (No, it wasn’t a fantasy novel).
