Eight of India's best fiction writers come together to produce a book of intrigue and murders most foul.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Mitra Phukan's story that opens this edge-of-the-seat anthology, \u003cem\u003eShe Stoops to Kill: Stories of Crime and Passion\u003c\/em\u003e, a singing diva chokes to death onstage. The weapon is a poisoned paan--but who would want her dead? And Pratyaksha follows Mitra's entrée with the murder of an equally glamorous victim--air hostess Ginny Kalra. Bulbul Sharma, in 'Murder in the Wedding Season', creates a cosy setting for a wedding in Shimla; but the guests include a politician and a timorous widow whose past will disrupt the party in ways no one had imagined. And in Uddipana Goswami's 'Beloved of Flowers', a folktale about a girl reborn as a lotus leads young Dino to the truth behind a mysterious disappearance.\u003cbr\u003e Manjula Padmanabhan's 'Serial Killer' brilliantly explores what it is like to be a perfectly normal person--except that you enjoy the act of murder. While Janice Pariat's delicately nuanced 'The Nurse' shows us another side of death altogether. In the penultimate story by Venita Coelho, Sister, a vigilante eunuch, helps the police solve a gruesome killing in a city slum. And Paro Anand brings the collection to a grand finale with a story that begins with lust and ends with a murder--or two--that may or may not have happened.\u003cbr\u003e By turns chilling, horrific and morbidly fascinating, \u003cem\u003eShe Stoops to Kill: Stories of Crime and Passion\u003c\/em\u003e, is a steaming witches' cauldron of stories that will keep you riveted, page after page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speaking Tiger Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48229690146967,"sku":"9789388874847","price":3450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789388874847.webp?v=1788784468","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/she-stoops-to-kill-stories-of-crime-and-passion-9789388874847","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
