CONFRONTATION and CONSPIRACY

When Divakar recalls his unintentional and spontaneous outburst before a union minister at an event, and its probable consequences, a wave of emotional turmoil engulfs him, shattering his composure. Despite Alka's unwavering support and efforts to boost her husband’s morale, Divakar finds it a daunting task to overcome his anxiety, leading to a nightmare that continues to haunt him.

His stress, like a tightening noose, intensifies as he becomes entangled in one conspiracy after another. One of his senior colleagues holds him responsible for the death of a kidnapped girl, a government agency sends him a series of threatening epistles endangering his future, he faces his character assassination and many more. Divakar is clueless about the orchestrator of his agonies. On the one hand, he always suspects the minister. On the other hand, he believes that a central minister wouldn’t have the time to wage a personal vendetta against an ordinary academic. If so, who is his adversary harassing him?

The events lead to police intervention. The police's mandate is to investigate the circumstances that made Divakar's life hell and uncover the culprits. While the police inquiry continues, a few other incidents force him to appear in court multiple times to face tough questions and witness fierce legal arguments.

Will the police and court cases solve the puzzle in Divakar’s life? Will they help him win the torturous battle to salvage his future and expose his enemies?

In this contemporary, cosy suspense thriller, Dinesh cleverly intertwines fictional subthemes with an exaggerated dramatisation of the events he witnessed during his forty-year professional career. This unique blend brings a sense of authenticity to the story, making it a compelling read for book lovers.
