Shadows in the Light

P. R. Desai has earned comparisons to the greats of the psychological thriller genre, and Shadows in the Light is the book that cements that reputation. When criminal psychologist Dr. Arjun Rao is called to consult on a series of seemingly unconnected disappearances in rural Maharashtra, he discovers a pattern that points to a truth far more disturbing than simple crime. Desai's plotting is meticulous and ruthless; every chapter ends with a twist that recontextualizes everything that came before. But beneath the propulsive narrative lies a deeply humane story about the shadows we carry and the light we seek.
