'Private Delhi' by Ashwin Sanghi & James Patterson. This book is published by Random house in 2017 and has 480 pages. This is Book 13 of Private series.
Jack Morgan has convinced Santosh Wagh to go to rehab and then move to Delhi to open Private's Delhi office. A house is discovered in Greater Kailash with more than ten bodies in acid drums. Chief minister and Lt. Governer of Delhi don't see eye to eye. CM recruits Private. A serial killer is killing a number of high profile persons.
Who is behind all these murders? What is the connection? Would Private solve the case? What role will politics play?
The story is fast. First murder happens in the first chapter and then the killings continue. New angles come in to play. However there are two main themes. One is the racket if Organ harvesting from poor and helpless for the benefit of rich Americans. Second is a serial Vigilante killer who is targeting corrupt high and mighty.
This story has murders, good guys, bad guys, grey guys, investigators whose heart says one thing and brain says another, politicians, medical malpractice and hope. In short, everything.
I identified two candidates for killer. My prime candidate was not the killer, it was the second one. However authors, inexplicably, gave away the killer on a platter in the final 1/3rd of book instead of delaying the revelation till the very end.
Ashwin Sanghi has teamed with James Patterson again after previous venture 'Private India'. More books may be in the pipeline.
It was the first time for me to read an epilogue consisting of two chapters. Interesting!
Why did I read this book? Ashwin Sanghi.
What I didn't like? Killer's identity given away too early.
What did I like? The end.
