New Delhi, Mar 3 (PTI) Bestselling author Ashwin Sanghi will come out with a three-book crime thriller series, introducing the character of a “flawed but brilliant ex-cop Prakash Kadam”, publisher HarperCollins India announced on Friday.
The book series, titled “Kutta Kadam” will follow the exploits of the anti-hero as he hunts down criminals on the streets of Mumbai.
Talking about the upcoming series, Sanghi said that he will continue writing books in his popular “Bharat” series at the interval of every two years.
“I will now also give my readers a series of books in an entirely new crime thriller series every alternate year, starting 2024. As you know, I had co-written two crime thrillers along with James Patterson in 2014 and 2017. Both these titles became international bestsellers.
“The new series, titled ‘Kutta Kadam’, is my first solo outing in the crime thriller genre and I hope that these books and their future web series adaptations will keep my fans engrossed,” the author of “Chanakaya’s Chant” said in a statement.
The series will kick off with three books – each focused on a different case and Kadam’s investigation of it.
Each book will be accompanied by a new season of a web series, the publishers said.
“When we got news of Ashwin’s plans for a set of crime novels featuring a certain ‘Kutta Kadam’, we knew we had yet another winner on our hands. Baffling crimes, twisted minds, cat-and-mouse games, a flawed but spike-sharp investigator, and Ashwin’s deft touch to make each book unputdownable – these thrillers promise it all!” Poulomi Chatterjee, publisher at HarperCollins India, said.
The first book in the series will hit the stands in January 2024. MAH SHD SHD
