Truth is stranger than the fiction.

We all have heard/read this phrase many a times and most of us believe in the same as well, right?

Sometimes the creative people come up with an idea of writing a riveting thriller based on some real incidents – the incidents that could have caught many eyes and became talk of the town, or even a country.

Reporters duo Sanjay Singh and Rakesh Trivedi are teamed up for their latest Hindi Thriller рдХреНрд░рд┐рдорд┐рдирд▓реНрд╕ рдЗрди рдпреВрдирд┐рдлреЙрд░реНрдо (CRIMINALS IN UNIFORM). While inspired by many real incidents the book comes up with a legal disclaimer. Of course, it would be a mix-up of both. But, the research work (they have experience of around two decades in the field) of the investigative journalists is evident in the book. When the readers themselves start making links between the incidents mentioned in the book and some real incidents and/or people and/or places, it is the success of the storyteller for sure.

Book Cover:

Being a gateway to the virtual world explored within, the cover page plays a vital role in inspiring a casual browser to give it a second look and go through its blurb. Eventually, the browser may be converted to a reader. The role of a well designed cover page in book selling is really remarkable.

As you can see the cover page of the book is designed with the shades of blood red. It suits perfectly to the book content and genre. The illustration of a multi-story building (Kuberia) gives you enough hint about the story. Two figures looking in different direction have contrast colors reflecting the title quite well. It raises a question “are the people in uniform pure white or they have their own shades of grey (or even black”).

Overall, a well thought cover page that remains true to the book content, and is attractive too.

Let us take a look at the bird’s bye view of the book plot.

The Plot:

In Mumbai, the economic capital of India (that is Bharat), the largest democracy in the world, lives many billionaires along with the common men. One of those notable wealthy business tycoons, is Mr. Kuber who lives with his socialite wife and only son, Dhruv Kuber. Being the wealthiest man of the country Kuber is not only one of the prominent figures, but the most prominent figure. He is given lot of special treatments along with the security cover.

His home(! if we can call it so), Kuberia, is one of the most famous residents in the world. Along with state and center provided security teams, Kuber’s own security team takes care of the security of “Kuberia”. Aman Chaudhari heads this security arrangements.

During one of his routine combing of the streets around Kuberia he found a Scorpio having a number plate of one of the private cars belong to Kuberia! He found it suspicious and initiated search! Not only the police team(s), but also news channel vans came rushing. The police has found a jersey belong to the PCL (Premier Cricket League – рдкреНрд░реАрдорд┐рдпрд░ рдХреНрд░рд┐рдХреЗрдЯ рд▓реАрдЧ) team owned by Kuber, a bunch of Gelatin sticks and a letter from this abandoned vehicle.

The ammunition was sufficient to blast Kuberia, but was not linked with a trigger anyway. The letter however conveyed message in clear words:

рдбрд┐рдпрд░ рдХреБрдмреЗрд░ рднреИрдпрд╛-рднрд╛рднреА, рдпреЗ рддреЛ рд╕рд┐рд░реНрдл рдПрдХ рдЯреНрд░реЗрд▓рд░ рд╣реИ| рд╣рдордиреЗ рдкреВрд░реЗ рдкрд░рд┐рд╡рд╛рд░ рдХреЗ рд▓рд┐рдП рдЗрдВрддреЫрд╛рдо рдХрд░ рд░рдЦрд╛ рд╣реИ| рд╕рдВрднрд▓рдХрд░ рд░рд╣рд┐рдпреЗ| рдЧреБрдб рдирд╛рдИрдЯ|

So, the case is clear, someone took a step to threaten one of the most secure and politically connected person of the country!

Many agencies like RAW, IB, NIA and various departments of state police like ATS, local police station and others wanted to lead this investigation. But, upon insistence and lobbying of Mahavir Tomar, the commissioner of Mumbai Police, the case is given to CIU (Crime Investigation Unit – рдХреНрд░рд╛рдЗрдо рдЗрдиреНрд╡реЗрд╕реНрдЯреАрдЧреЗрд╢рди рдпреВрдирд┐рдЯ) lead by Yateen Sathe. Yateen is a mere API but his connections with commissioner and thus to the government made him the de-facto boss of CIU.

So, will CIU be able to solve this case? And why it is reffered as (Criminals In Uniform)? Well you can get the answers by reading this thriller. During this course, you will meet with рдХреБрдмреЗрд░, рдХреБрдмреЗрд░рд┐рдпрд╛, рдзреНрд░реБрд╡ рдХреБрдмреЗрд░, рдЕрдорди рдЪреМрдзрд░реА, рд╣реЛрдо рдорд┐рдирд┐рд╕реНрдЯрд░ рд╕реБрдиреАрд▓ рд╕рд░рджреЗрд╢рдкрд╛рдВреЬреЗ, рдПрдЯреАрдПрд╕ рдЪреАрдл рд╡рд┐рд╢реНрд╡рдЬреАрдд, рдореБрдВрдмрдИ рдкреБрд▓рд┐рд╕ рдХрдорд┐рд╢реНрдирд░ рдорд╣рд╛рд╡реАрд░ рддреЛрдорд░, рдПрдкреАрдЖрдИ рдпрддреАрди рд╕рд╛рдареЗ, рдПрдЯреАрдПрд╕ рдбреАрдЖрдИрдЬреА рдордирджреАрдк рдкрд▓рд╛рдВрдбреЗ, рдирд┐рддреНрдпрд╛ рд╢реЗрдЯреНрдЯреА, рд╕рдм рдЗрдВрд╕реНрдкреЗрдХреНрдЯрд░ рдлрдЦрд░реБрджреНрджреАрди рд╣рд╛рдЬреА, рд░рд╛рдЬреЗрд╢ рджреБрд▓реНрд▓рдд рдЙрд░реНреЮ рдбреЗрд░рд┐рдВрдЧ рджреБрд▓реНрд▓рдд, рдирд░реЗрди рдЖрд░реНрдп, рдорд╛рд░рд┐рдпреЛ рдлрд░реНрдирд╛рдВрдбрд┐рд╕, рд╣рд╕рдореБрдЦ рдЬреИрди, рдЬреАрддреЗрдиреНрджреНрд░ рдирд╛рдЧрдкреБрд░реЗ, рд╕рдВрдЪрд┐рдиреА, рдиреАрдирд╛ рдбрд╛рдпрд╕, рдЧрдЬрд╛рдирди рдЭреЗрдВрдбреЗ, рджрдорд╛рдирд┐рдпрд╛ рдлреЕрдорд┐рд▓реА, рдордВрддреНрд░реА рдкреНрд░рдирд┐рд▓ рд╕рд╛рдирдк, and others. One of the most interesting character is reporter Sanjay Trivedi (I like the way the author duo – рд▓реЗрдЦрдХрджреНрд╡рдп – has named it рд╕рдВрдЬрдп-рддреНрд░рд┐рд╡реЗрджреА). And yes, mention of legendary Indian Cricketer – Sachin Tendulkar at various places will put a smile on any cricket loving reader.

Views and Reviews:

Of course, I will try to avoid as many spoilers as possible, but please read with a consent that some of them are inevitable and may be found mentioned.

I like the way the authors have plotted the entire thriller. The story starts with one of the most recognizable incidents (as mentioned earlier) and any little-aware reader will be hooked with the story from the beginning. Even the mention of a body builder cop, or an encounter-expert will be able to link these fictional characters to their inspiration!

The author makes their intention clear in the foreword section itself:

In addition to the contemporariness, the well-built characters is also one of the strong points of the book. Be it Sathe or Verma or Tomar, you will find the layers of their characters unfolding at periodic intervals. In fact, after around half of the book is completed, you will come to know about Sathe’s love for cricket.

The book also talks about various investigation agencies around the country and their work areas. Especially, their use of personal benefit and or vendetta by various governments. The following lines are an example:

The authors’ exploration of geographical details about various important offices in Mumbai will be found interesting by various readers. In addition, the way various chase happens, and tricks played will be appreciated as well. Sometimes, they also refers to the significance of specific location like:

Also, the scene where Sathe is driving his vehicle and various teams of investigation agencies following him, politicians watching him and news-channels speculating his possible next destination is interesting.

The book has some printing/proof-reading errors which could have been avoided.

And yes, you will love the chapter titles too.

The book doesn’t take anyone’s side, nor it tries to glorify anyone. It remains neutral and tries to share a third-person’s perspective for all the incidents that happens around us. The onlookers may see just the end picture and some biased narratives (from all the sides), but the original truth may remain always hidden. To me, this perspective is the USP of this fictional thriller.

The idea behind the quotes was without revealing the plot much, present various aspects of the book. So, you yourself can decide whether it is the kind of writing you would love to go for.

Sumamry:

I found the book quite an interesting thriller having its share of contemporariness. A perfect choice for mature readers.
