Kill the Girl

What do you do when someone finds your deepest, darkest secret? YOU KILL. Kochi City Police’s smart, savvy Wahida Ali has just been promoted to Inspector, but she hardly gets a chance to relish it. A young doctor is found dead beneath the railway overbridge, and it is up to Wahida and her team to find out why. What seems like an open and shut case with an obvious motive escalates to a much more intricate case of murder, treachery, and guilt. Wahida has pressure from higher-ups to wrap this one up quickly before the media and the public start condemning the department. So she forges ahead in a male-dominated, sexist work environment and delves deep into the sinister world of multispecialty hospitals only to find out there are greater risks involved . . . and stakes bigger than she has ever played with. Is she strong enough to catch a killer and stop an impending medical tragedy?

Poe in Quarantine

Poe’s works are characterized by an overarching sense of melancholy, a fact often viewed by critics as an echo of his own tragic experiences. His characters are reclusive, with a fondness for deep contemplation as in the case of “A Tell-Tale Heart.” Reading further into the nuances of some of his works in the light of a global pandemic, it has been noticed that Poe plays with isolation – or quarantine – to form a canvas upon which he lets his characters paint themselves. This anthology includes some of Poe’s finest works which can be read, and hopefully, open new avenues of interpretations owing to our newfound familiarity with quarantine and how it affects the psyche

Gorse is Not People

'Frame . . . is a master . . . All [stories] overflow with dazzling observation and unforgettable metaphor . . . A powerful collection.' —Kirkus 'This is a gem of a book, or rather a string of gems, each uniquely coloured, cut and crafted.' —Landfall This brand new collection of 28 short stories by Janet Frame spans the length of her career and contains some of the best she wrote. None of these stories has been published in a collection before, and more than half are published for the first time in Gorse is Not People. The title story caused Frame a setback in 1954, when Charles Brasch rejected it for publication in Landfall and, along with others for one reason or other, deliberately re...
