RET SAMADHI
अस्सी की होने चली दादी ने विधवा होकर परिवार से पीठ कर खटिया पकड़ ली। परिवार उसे वापस अपने बीच खींचने में लगा। प्रेम, वैर, आपसी नोकझोंक में खदबदाता संयुक्त परिवार। दादी बजि़द कि अब नहीं उठूँगी। फिर इन्हीं शब्दों की ध्वनि बदलकर हो जाती है अब तो नई ही उठूँगी। दादी उठती है। बिलकुल नई। नया बचपन, नई जवानी, सामाजिक वर्जनाओं-निषेधों से मुक्त, नए रिश्तों और नए तेवरों में पूर्ण स्वच्छन्द। हर साधारण औरत में छिपी एक असाधारण स्त्री की महागाथा तो है ही रेत-समाधि, संयुक्त परिवार की तत्कालीन स्थिति, देश के हालात और सामान्य मानवीय नियति का विलक्षण चित्रण भी है। और है एक अमर प्रेम प्रसंग व रोज़ी जैसा अविस्मरणीय चरित्र। कथा लेखन की एक नयी छटा है इस उपन्यास में। इसकी कथा, इसका कालक्रम, इसकी संवेदना, इसका कहन, सब अपने निराले अन्दाज़ में चलते हैं।

THRILLER NOVEL
I have killed several people (some brutally, others calmly) and yet I currently languish in jail for a murder I did not commit.When I think about what I actually did, I feel somewhat sad that nobody will ever know about the complex operation that I undertook. Getting away with it is highly preferable, of course, but perhaps when I’m long gone, someone will open an old safe and find this confession. The public would reel. After all, almost nobody else in the world can possibly understand how someone, by the tender age of 28, can have calmly killed six members of her family. And then happily got on with the rest of her life, never to regret a thing.When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother’s pleas for help, she vows revenge, and sets about to kill every member of his family. Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is as and gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love… and murder.But then Grace is imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit.Outrageously funny, compulsive and subversive, perfect for fans of Killing Eve and My Sister, the Serial Killer.

A masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century.When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they’re broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition.
