Blurb:
Beaten and brutally raped, her body is never found. However, the killers make one mistake. They leave a witness, a witness who has nothing to live for except revenge. And when he crosses the boundaries of time to make the guilty pay, a whole lot of dark characters come to light. There is Valentine, the superstar brand ambassador who sells anything for a price; there is Medici, a pharmaceutical company fraudulently manufacturing banned drugs; there is the perverted and sinister minded Dr Ranga and there is Este, the prostitute whose dark secret will blow up a daughter’s sanity. So, is there another murder waiting to happen? Will Police Inspector Dorab Silva be able to connect the clues to prevent another crime? Will these gods of greed be exposed? And yes, you will be surprised by who you will find there, finally. Deeply unsettling, Hungry Gods takes a hard look at greed for wealth and power.
Review :
Hungry Gods is a tense, gripping and somewhat disturbing story for me.This book looks like a fluffy crime thriller because of its colourfull cover but its grittier than its look that is more dark and black. The book is filled with wonderfull characters and a great plot. This fast paced story covers many aspects at times somewhat predictable but is so entertaining that i had hard time putting it down infact it took me only two sittings to finish it. The naration is smooth. Language is simple and the title is apt to the story. I greatly enjoyed the book.
