Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In a city of secrets, the most terrifying monster isn't hiding in the shadows-he's hiding in plain sight.Delhi, 2003. As the city transforms under the promise of 'India Shining,' Advocate Mukul Suri, a man of old-world principles, prefers the city's quieter truths. But his well-ordered life is fractured when he drafts a strange will for his most respectable client: the prominent and polished Dr. Harinder Jekal.The entire estate is to be left to a man no one has ever met. A man named Haider.Soon after, a grotesque act of violence shatters the winter fog in a forgotten lane. A ten-year-old girl is trampled by a brutish stranger who shows no remorse-a man who walks away and pays for the damages with a cheque signed by Dr. Jekal.As Suri is pulled deeper into his client's world, he discovers a terrifying connection between the sophisticated doctor who treats Delhi's elite and the monstrous predator who stalks its streets after dark. Guided by whispers from the city's underbelly and a growing sense of dread, Suri realizes he hasn't just drafted a will; he's enabled a monster.Now, the police are closing in, a fellow doctor is dead under mysterious circumstances, and Haider has set his sights on Suri himself. In a race against time, the lawyer must uncover the horrifying truth behind his client's transformation before he becomes the final victim of a man who has perfected the chemistry of evil.A masterful and atmospheric reinvention of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, The Strange Case of Dr. Harinder Jekal & Mr. Haider is a chilling Delhi Noir perfect for fans of dark psychological thrillers, international crime fiction, and authors like Vikram Chandra, Jo Nesbø, and Tana French.Click 'Buy Now' to step into the fog and uncover the darkness within.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This collection rises from the depths of love, misery, and rage, three forces that shape the human spirit at its most vulnerable and powerful. Each poem carries consuming devotion, quiet sorrow, and emotions that burn fiercely and unapologetically. Within these pages, feeling is embraced in its rawest form. More than a collection of verses, this book is an experience of loving boldly, grieving openly, and burning brightly without ever asking permission to shine.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The nail has been in that tree for eighty years. Somebody is cutting it out.In the villages of old Kerala the dead do not rest, and the living do not ask why. A woman is put out of her house at five months and walks down a lane of fourteen doors, and eleven of them close. A scholar dies with a fault on him that nobody has computed, and comes back with his learning intact and his appetite new. A man is killed on a night road by a method that leaves nothing anyone can be accused of. A corpse in a tree tells riddles to the man carrying it, and every riddle has a price.Eighteen tales, drawn from the Aithihyamala, the northern ballads, and the stories still told in particular villages about particular trees.- The Yakshi, who asks a stranger for lime on a dark road.- The Brahmarakshas, who asks a question you had better answer.- The Odiyan, made by the same men who paid him and feared him.- The Vethalam, who cannot stop asking.After each tale comes a poem, spoken by the one nobody heard: the garland-maker, the maid, the iron nail, the room with the bar on the inside.These are not gentle stories, and there are no clean hands in them.For readers of Indian folk horror, regional mythology and the ghost stories a country tells about itself.Book Five of Indian Mythology Retold. Each book stands alone.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - He was eleven years old the first time they used him.A blood relative had to hold the goat. His elder brothers refused, on superstition. Three cuts failed. The fourth worked. He remembers the smell and not the animal.Shakuni is the ninety-eighth of a hundred sons - clever, unloved, and useful, which in the house of Subala is worse. When his sister is married north to the blind prince of Hastinapura, he goes with her: a small man in a large court, counting grain, pricing men, and guarding a family secret that could ruin them all.For three years he lies, forges, bribes and kills to keep it buried.The secret was never a secret.His sister told them herself, before the wedding night, because she would not begin a marriage in a lie. The old men of Hastinapura have known the whole time. They held it the way an administrator holds anything - as inventory, worth more intact - and released it on the morning it stopped paying.By then a hundred and one men of his house are standing on a stair, and there is one door, and it is new.They are given one portion of food a day. His father does the arithmetic and proposes the only answer: all of it goes to one man, so that one man comes out of that room sharpened into a weapon. The choosing takes an afternoon. Shakuni argues for himself, on merit, and every man in the dark knows he is right.He is in the cell for four hundred and thirty days. He is alone for two hundred and eighty-eight of them.He comes out lame, weeping, and thanking them for their mercy. He is not faking the weeping. In his hand is a set of dice he made himself, over nine months, in the dark, with the edge of a spoon, out of the small bones of his father's right wrist.The Prince of Bones is the first book of a cycle that ends at the dice game - the throw that breaks a dynasty and starts the war. This is not the story of how a good man was wronged. It is the story of how an ordinary, competent, affectionate man was spent, one piece at a time, by people who were mostly being reasonable.For readers of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence, and Anand Neelakantan's Ajaya - and for anyone who has wondered what it costs to become the villain of somebody else's epic.Book One of The Sun Court. A dark retelling from the Mahabharata.…
