Timmy Shergill, an upright New York auditor, had to die for doing his job too well. This set three lives, in two continents, to intersect across different cultural codes. Lester Cochraine, a carpet importer, was driven hard by ambition, Sudesh Sharma, a struggling middleman in India’s carpet trade, aspired to self-respect and Sergeant Mathew Hennessey of NYPD, recently stirred by duty and infatuation, just wanted to be counted. This plot delves into hopes, greed, and self-delusions, to show how predictable destinies can take dramatic turns. It is also a crime story.

The author is a professional social scientist with several scholarly books and articles to his credit. Yet, he considers, among his favourites, the three crime novels he has written over the past decade. He believes that fiction of this genre works best when it details how ordinary, unremakable, people suddenly find themselves in extraordinary situations. His novels evoke a radicalised realism which allows the everyday reader an anxious and participatory empathy with the plot. The author also has a column in a leading daily and writes frequently for the popular press.
