Balan and Dheera : A Tale of Kalyuga

________________
This is a thriller that's mixed with mythology twists. The very start captivated my attention. We mostly think populated areas are devoid of crime and solitary areas only concentrated it's amount.
This notion is defied when a place that has become a decent area to live Dwarka sees a gruesome murder by a killer in the open day light. Prakash a resident while on his walk in the park reports it. On autopsy what comes forth gives a reader goosebumps. It was hard for me to imagine.
He was a 27 year old man who was tortured horrendously where a part of his vertibre C2 specifically was taken out and was pelted to death. As Sathya a cop starts to investigate this case he cones across the path of the mastermind behind these killings.
Is it a normal serial murder or a religious motive is hidden behind it? Why was this victim was chosen to be the one like numerous others. Soon He, maruti and others learn the sacrificial nature of it all. Each next murder starts becoming more horrendous.
As they start to dive deeper they soon dig out a long array of suspense and cosmic events that start to change our perspection towards things. It's a mind boggling story crafted well. Narration is capturing. And kept lucid for all to enjoy. Once you start reading there's no stop.
Go ahead with this if you like some thrilling twist filled detective story with a maddening killer going around in open.
