Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian Mcallister
While Gillian McAllister is no stranger to doling out cult classics, Wrong Place Wrong Time cements her spot as the queen of thrillers. The fast-paced plot follows Jen, a hassled mother who wishes to turn back time to give Todd, her murderer son, a clean state, only to set in motion a voyage of unanticipated discoveries. Wrong Place Wrong Time evokes a roller-coaster of emotions, as one dives deep into the complex narrative. Equal parts riveting and satisfying, the book is backed by powerful and intelligent storytelling — a signature McAllister.
Nireeswaran by VJ James
An intelligent read, Nireeswaran by celebrated Malayalam novelist VJ James gives us an insight into what spirituality truly is, using sharp humour and satire to question and call out blind faith. Atheist protagonists Antony, Sahir and Bhaskaran are out to prove that god is a superstition. The trio erects a mutilated idol of Nireeswaran, the embodiment of anti- god, in an attempt to show people that their religion has no basis. Then ensues a series of events that leave the three in quite a dilemma. What follows is anything but the expected, evoking laughter along the way without ruffling sensitive feathers. The overall narrative of this humorous yet hard-hitting gem is a wonderful testament to the author’s storytelling prowess.

The author offers simple and clear messages to emphasise the three integral elements of career management — managing yourself, managing your team and managing your business. From in-depth interviews with 21 top business leaders to addressing compelling questions, The Art of Management questions existing strategies on surviving the rat race in the changing decade.
