‘When a doctor writes a novel about
the medical community cavorting with the
mafia, would it be a work of fiction or
would it be an attempt to showcase reality
without the risk of backlash?’
‘THE SCALPEL' - Game Beneath is the first
ever medical fiction in South Asia written
by a senior Cardiologist with 30 years
experience of working in premier hospitals.
A pretty Indian princess based in Paris, on
a visit to India is intrigued by a
mysterious character in a five-star
hospital. His stealthy walk raises her
suspicion. From thereon she trails him and
exposes a criminal-terrorist-medical-mafia
nexus. She finally comes face to face with
the Prime Minister and the President of
India.
The author takes the reader on a roller
–coaster ride across Delhi, New York,
London, Chicago, Sydney, Barcelona, and
Istanbul. The narration is racy, language
lyrical, violence chilling and romance
subtle.
The author has filled the vacuum of thriller
writing in India as was lamented by many in
past. He has carried forward what Robin Cook
started three decades back.
'THE SCALPEL' cuts across the veils of human
greed, lust and lies. The pinnacle of the
medical world is not necessarily adorned by
the pious and the noble. The villains
masquerade as angels and the angels face the
risk of getting decimated.
If you are an avid book reader you shall see
for yourself what a master-piece 'THE SCALPEL'
is.
If you do not read books then you have to
only read the first 4 pages. After that the
story will take your over. You will not know
how you reached the last page.
