A WILL TO KILL
First in the Harith Athreya series, this Agatha Christie-esque whodunit is set in India.
MIST, MOUNTAINS, AND MURDER: two conflicting wills. Which one comes into force depends on how Bhaskar Fernandez dies.
An aging and wheelchair-bound Bhaskar Fernandez has finally reclaimed his family property after a bitter legal battle, and now wants to reunite his aggrieved relatives. So, he invites them to his remote Greybrooke Manor in the misty Nilgiris - a mansion that has played host to several sudden deaths; a colonial edifice that stands alone in a valley that is said to be haunted by the ghost of an Englishman.
But Bhaskar has other, more practical problems to deal with. He knows that his guests expect to gain by his death, and to safeguard himself against violence, he writes two conflicting wills. Which one of them comes into force will depend on how he dies.
Into this tinderbox, he brings Harith Athreya, a seasoned investigator. When a landslide occurs, temporarily isolating them and resulting in a murder, Athreya finds that murder is not the only thing the mist conceals.
A WILL TO KILL is the first Harith Athreya mystery from an international master of the form. R.V. Raman is the author of the Inspector Ranade and Inspector Dhruvi thrillers, published in India, which are loosely based on his corporate career spanning three decades and four continents.
After a corporate career spanning three decades and four continents, RV Raman has moved away from full time roles to pursue his interest in teaching and writing. He now teaches business strategy at an IIM, mentor young entrepreneurs, advise select clients and write. In an earlier avatar, he led KPMG's Consulting Practice, and was a partner with A.T. Kearney and Arthur Andersen. He writes crime fiction set in India. The first four books are about white-collar crime and murder in corporate India. The fifth is a domestic whodunit.
