Dear All,
Piggies on the Railway is officially being launched on the 24th at the Park Hotel, Parliament Street, New Delhi at 5 p.m. and once again on the 27th at Landmark bookstore, Gurgaon at 7 p.m.
Do try and make it for one or both events. If you are planning on coming, do drop a little RSVP (as an email on the id given on the sidebar) so that the catering guys can provide for you 🙂
When tall, suave, handsome Kaustav Kapoor walks into her office, ditzy private investigator Kasthuri (aka Katie) Kumar has anything but detection on her mind. He is, after all, a scion of Bollywood’s first family—perhaps he has a role for her? Perhaps she will, at last, get to sashay down the red carpet in a designer gown, with flash bulbs following her every move?
But Kapoor’s intentions are much more prosaic: he wishes Katie to trace the heroine of his new blockbuster (and, if Katie’s read the glossies correctly, his life) who is mysteriously AWOL. Despite her misgivings, Katie finds herself unable to refuse the task entrusted to her, and thereon follows a bewildering hunt for the film star across a trail of corpses.
And if that isn’t excitement enough, she has to contend with the maddening and mysterious, but, oh-so-hot, Tejas Deshpande.
The first in a brand new detective series.
IN BOOKSTORES NOW.
Smita Jain's Weblog 
oh i would love to attend this. will ask another reader friend of mine to accompany me as well.
All the best for the read!
Some people have told me I have a voice not unlike Liam Neeson’s. Now all that remains is some publisher to like my book 😉
PS: All the aforementioned people owe me money.
@Rima, great, see you there.
@Rohit, thanks. Also, I must confess to feeling minor puzzlement. I don’t see the relevance of possessing a voice like an Irish actor for getting published 🙂
So that I could just captivate the audience when I read from my book at my own ‘Book Reading’ 🙂 Maybe at a Crosswords in Bombay or perhaps at the London Book Fair!
