Where Angels Prey is a rip roaring piece of (crime) fiction that travels from New York to India via many countries. At the very core, it is a story of extreme greed on the part of a few to amass a huge fortune. Just as Don Corleone says in Mario Puzo's 'The Godfather', "Behind every successful fortune there is a crime", the plot in Where Angels Prey has a whole gamut of characters, each of whom is an important link in the chain of events that lead to this massive global crime. And what is interesting is that, this UNIQUE and gripping plot is presented with all the twists and turns you would find in a commercial film screenplay almost.
While the rest of the world reels under a severe financial crisis, Wall Street pours huge money into India to help its poor - a somewhat strange happening indeed. Intrigued, Robert Bradlee, senior correspondent with The New York Post, sets off to investigate, along with his journalist friend, Chandresh. Little does he know that his search for a scoop would lead him through a complex multi-pronged web of deceit, fraud, manipulation and financial crime, remote controlled from distant lands by an entire chain of financial sector stakeholders.
Gripping, racy and meticulously researched, this financial crime thriller weaves in and out of the affluent world of high-powered boardrooms and the gruelling poverty of the remotest villages of India, to reveal the devastating truths that often lurk behind "good intentions."
A thrilling, intense and entertaining read, Where Angels Prey, has received very positive comments from several noted personalities :

- "Where Angels Prey - What a wonderful read! I loved the book and most especially the philosophical puzzle of how it ends. This rip-roaring piece of fiction races the reader through the halls of the Mumbai and New York Stock exchanges and into the villages of Andhra Pradesh. Where Angels Prey exposes the worst of what can happen when commercial interests and desperation collide: a train wreck tragic in every way. At the heart of the story, as two journalists work unstoppably to interpret a rain of motives, they uncover why and how the angels prey." - Kim Wilson (Faculty, The Fletcher School, Tufts University)

- "Wow, what an amazing, engaging, honest, searing tale! I absolutely adored this book. I started to read it and I was hooked. I could not put it down until I reached the end. Beautifully written, with not one word out of place, it gives a very clear and scary picture of what could and does go wrong … today. An amazing book which will stay with me," - Renita D'Silva (Author of ‘Monsoon Memories', ‘The Forgotten Daughter' and ‘The Stolen Girl')
