FIRST published in 1940, Night in Bombay traces the destinies of three individuals whose lives are inextricably linked together by chance: Bill Wainright, a ricj American businessman; Buck Merrill, Bill’s ailing friend who has devoted his life to philanthropy; and Coral Halma, a former beauty queen, who was once married to Bill. A passionate relationship blossoms between Carol and Buck even as Bill finds himself falling in love with Carol once again. This love triangle unfolds against the shimmer and bustle of Bombay in the 1930s — from the luxury and slendour of the Taj Mahal Hotel to the squalor and grime of the mill workers’ quarters. Navigating their way amidst a host of colourful characters, the protagonists are pulled into a vortex of passion, greed, corruption, and deception as the novel surges to a powerful climax.
Dr Aditya Verma, a world renowned neurosurgeon based in London, is approached by his Indian counterpart to take up a challenging and complex case of a woman suffering from neurosis following brain damage. He finds her condition to be critical. Will he be able to save her or will he lose her? The story moves into the realm of a spine-chilling suspense, set on the journey of medical adventure.
From a fugitive vampire forced to trust a boy who might work for the group bent on destroying her, to the legendary romance of two immortals whose love compels them to risk everything, this heart-pounding collection brings new meaning to the words ‘love you forever.’
In this first book of The
Century trilogy, five families are brought together through
world-shaking dramas of World War I, the Russian revolution and the
struggle of votes for women. It is 1911, and the coronation day of King
George V. Thirteen-year-old Billy Williams begins his first day at work
in a coalmine. The Williams family is connected by romance and enmity to
the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coalmine owners. Lady Maud Fitzherbert
falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in
London. Their destiny is entangled with that of Gus Dewar, ambitious
young aide to US President Woodrow Wilson. Two orphaned Russian brothers
soon become involved, but Grigori and Lev Peshkov’s plan to emigrate
to America falls foul of war, conscription and revolution.
