UNCOVER THE VERY BEST IN CRIME AND THRILLER WRITING
Enjoy another ‘exhilarating roller-coaster ride of unusual cases‘ (Publishers Weekly) in this second book of the Ravi PI series, featuring detective Ravi Chandra Singh and his team at the gleefully amoral, unfailingly dangerous secret agency Golden Sentinels.
When Ravi’s colleagues at Golden Sentinels discover that he sees gods in moments of heightened anxiety and stress, they are surprisingly fine with it. They even encourage him to incorporate his visions into his work, especially now that the cases have become more intense, with many hidden risks at play. But their latest case – a search for a dead Russian oligarch’s last will and testament – leads to more than anyone expected: a missing heir, murderous relatives, and geopolitical implications. So, when Ravi’s boss sends him to Los Angeles to wait out the heat, it’s almost a relief…until Ravi’s past catches up to him.
In this thrilling and complex sequel to Her Nightly Embrace, nothing is what it seems, as Ravi stumbles upon a dangerous scheme that involves the CIA, MI5, and a wanted man with a $20 million price on his head.

With its firecracker box-set pace and spectacular big-budget imagery, Adi Tantimedh's Her Beautiful Monster is the best high-concept television show you've never seen, with hardboiled Hindu gods and two-fisted theology acted out against the treachery, politics, and violence of a blisteringly modern digital world. Walking the precarious tightrope between shamus and shaman, Tantimedh's vivid and divinely beleaguered Ravi is a triumph of the fabulous. Introduce yourself to him immediately
Once again, Tantimedh ebulliently spins out a world in which pandemonium doesn't reign; it pours.
Tantimedh's second fun-filled romp brings back PI Ravi and the gang of Hindu deities who turn up in his hallucinations to offer sharp and mischievous comments on the action. Ravi's adventures in London and LA push the boundaries of the gumshoe genre to the limit, but he and his oddball posse (human and divine) sweep you along with breezy readability. Enjoy.
