Secrets, Scandals & Lies Paperback – 12 April 2024

Hate, jealousy, fear, adultery, drug racket, prostitution....MURDER! These are not the themes of a Hollywood potboiler, but aspects of the lives of some seemingly ordinary residents of a middle-class housing society in East Delhi. From a retired lecturer morbidly scared of his rich, businesswoman neighbour, to a tall woman going out of her way to help others, to a seemingly loving wife who kills her husband, to married couples engaged in adultery, to two out-of-the-world entities—these 10 interconnected stories will intrigue and transfix you. Spanning through five decades, these stories mirror the very dark and sometimes good sides of human nature. Each character in the book is living a lie; each character is wearing a mask. Secrets, Scandals & Lies takes you on a rollercoaster study of human nature and makes you wonder when the mask becomes the face.
