Her Nightly Embrace: Ravi Pi, cartea 1

Autor Adi Tantimedh
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The first in a trilogy of whip-smart novels--soon to be a TV series----about a destructive British-born private investigator and his ragtag team of eccentric coworkers, who handle high-profile cases so undercover that they never make the headlines. Perfect for fans of Sherlock, Castle, and Scandal.
Ravi Chandra Singh is the last guy you'd expect to become a private detective. A failed religious scholar and former high school teacher, he now works for Golden Sentinels, an upmarket London private investigations and security company. His colleagues are a band of gleefully amoral and brilliant screw-ups: Ken and Clive, a pair of brutal ex-cops from the Old School who are also a gay couple; Mark Chapman, a stoner with a great mind when you can get him to stop smoking weed for five minutes; Marcie Holder, a cheerful former publicist; Benjamin Lee, a MacGyver-style techie from South London; David Okri, an ambitious lawyer from a well-connected Nigerian immigrant family; and Olivia Wong, an upper-class Hong Kong heiress who's a financial analyst hiding her real skills as one of the most notorious hackers in the world--all under the watchful eye of Roger Golden, wheeler-dealer extraordinaire, and his cofounder and office manager, Cheryl Hughes.
Thrust into a world where the rich, famous, and powerful hire him to solve their problems and wash their dirty laundry, Ravi finds himself in over his head with increasingly gonzo and complex cases--and the recent visions that he's been having of Hindu gods aren't helping. As Ravi struggles to stay ahead of danger, he wonders if the things he's seeing are a delusion--or if he might, in fact, be an unrecognized shaman of the modern world...
As Deepak Chopra says, "Her Nightly Embrace introduces us to an exciting and dynamic new world of storytelling in which spirituality and science are inextricably entwined. Ravi is a character unlike any that readers have quite encountered before, and as he starts to see increasingly wild and fascinating visions, so will those lucky enough to dive into this rich narrative."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The first in a fun, topical London-based detective series, currently in development as a TV series set to star Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes).

The clients are high-profile. The problems need to stay under cover.

Golden Sentinels is on the case...

Ravi Chandra Singh is the last person you'd expect to become a private detective. He's been a religious scholar and a teacher, and now he works for Golden Sentinels, an upmarket London PI agency. His colleagues are a band of gleefully amoral and brilliant screw-ups, prepared to cut any corners to get the job done - as long as they don't get caught.

The rich, famous and powerful want him to make their problems go away, but the cases are becoming increasingly bizarre. There's the MP visited at night by his dead girlfriend, a banker who thinks her company wants to kill her, the bestselling author under attack by internet trolls... None of it helped by the visions he's been having of Hindu gods.

As Ravi struggles to stay ahead of danger, he wonders if the things he's seeing are a delusion - or if he might, in fact, be an agent of chaos for all those around him...

Recenzii

Her Nightly Embrace introduces us to an exciting and dynamic new world of storytelling in which spirituality and science are inextricably entwined. Ravi is a character unlike any that readers have quite encountered before, and as he starts to see increasingly wild and fascinating visions, so will those lucky enough to dive into this rich narrative.
Tantimedh's episodic first novel, a trilogy launch, takes the reader on an exhilarating roller-coaster ride of unusual cases
Graphic novelist and screenwriter Tantimedh (La Muse) does an excellent job of shaping Ravi into a caustic yet empathetic observer of the chaos around him, and even the conceit that he sees Hindu gods...is handled organically and mostly subtly
