Bankerupt by Ravi Subramanian

"Bankerupt" latest novel by Ravi Subramanian .

The story starts with the marriage of Aditya (a banker, who works in The Greater Boston Global Bank-Mumbai) and Chirisha (an academician at MIT and daughter of an industrialist with interest in Emu farming).  Two stories run in parallel. As is Ravi's speciality 1st story revolves around money laundering and bank in Mumbai and Coimbatore. 2nd story happens in campus of MIT, Boston. This story is a combination of academic ambitions, doctored research and gun control.

Ravi has explained how black money is laundered, how unscrupulous bankers manage the money and share market in detail. Fictitious bank GB2 makes a comeback however none of the characters from previous book appear in this book. He has also tackled the subject of gun rights Vs gun control very well. His narration of the story in Boston is at par with western writers. He has gone in great technical details to explain the solving of mystery. Death of one central character has brought important twist to the tale.

Again full marks to Ravi for apt title for the book. Title suggests the corrupt banker (note the spelling, Bankerupt not Bankrupt) who is the protagonist.

However during the course of novel the story in India drops out and story in Boston becomes the main story and remains so till the end. In one or two instances I felt that Ravi has covered some important aspects in very few words where they deserved more.

A good book. Recommend reading.
