Once and only once in an eternity comes along a thriller that not only causes you sleepless nights; leaves you thirsting for more; has you on the proverbial knife's edge throughout it's tumultous and heart stopping 325 odd pages that leave you gasping for breath and thirsting for more.........
Debutant author Uday Satpathy's "Brutal" is all this and more and not only has humble and insignificant old me going ga ga over it but also has authors of the eminence of Ravi Subramaniam showering encomiums of thoroughly deserved praise on the same.........
It all begins with a beloved; respected; revered and dormant as a door mouse school teacher standing trial for the murderous; depraved; seemingly inhuman and blood curdling act of massacring eleven of his students for no sane rhyme or reason and the very same Satan reincarnate falls prey to the wiles of a world weary and wizened sniper who guns him down while on his way to a bursting at the seams courtroom in the company of a posse of bewildered and flabbergasted policemen who know no better........
An obscure; hitherto unknown and seemingly nondescript militant outfit claims credit for serving the much desired justice to this mutant monster who deserved no better according to the populace who is baying for his blood and more than willing to lynch him at the first given opportunity; a nation pacified and one more case buried in the teeming millions of police files lying buried in thousands of police stations dotting the landscape of our beloved motherland..........
Two jaded; faded; broken and wounded crime reporters who are nursing seemingly incurable wounds of their own namely Prakash and Seema who seek redemption by uncovering the skeletons lying buried beneath the surface and unravelling the mystery that began eight or so years ago in the Bandhavgarh Tiger reserve think otherwise and hence begins an utterly fascinating and death defying journey.........
Thought they work for opposing television conglomerates who will leave no stone unturned in their efforts to grab the nation's eyeballs; the two friends and professional confidantes find themselves confronted with a global conspiracy and a mind altering drug that can turn a docile; god fearing and rational human being into a devil incarnate and something out off the annals of Alfred Hitchcock's hair raising ghost stories within a mere matter of a few minutes........
Do Prakash and Seema succeed in their mission that places them in death defying situations at every stage of their perilous journey and serve the cause of justice and humanity or then perish in their equally heroic; foolhardy and daredevil attempt to do so; pick up this hair raising thriller at the pocket friendly cost of Rs. 250 from your neighbouring book store as not doing so would only leave you poorer for the experience.........
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PLEASE DO READ THE SAME WITHOUT FURTHER ADO IF YOU ARE AN ADRENALINE JUNKIE LIKE MOI..........
