About the author:

Arun K Nair has lived most of his life in Chennai. He is a movie buff, avid traveler, and reader. He likes to read crime novels and management books. He has worked on scripts for short films before deciding to author a crime novel.

Murderous Greed brings out the dark side of humanity. The underlying theme of the story is greed and how it goes beyond the realm of human values and friendship.

Blurb:

Early one morning in the township of Avadi, a woman who was on her way to attend a relative's wedding falls victim to a chain-snatcher and loses her life in the process. The very same morning, Karthik, an up and coming young businessman is found shot dead in his car in the middle of the road - the only witness to the incident being his employee Drishti who was in the car with him at the time. The responsibility of getting behind the root of both incidents falls on Inspector Satyajit, an intrepid and honest police officer, and his team who get cracking on both cases immediately. But as the investigation proceeds further, the incidents and the stories of those involved get increasingly confused and murkier. What illegal deals was Karthik involved in? Did these deals cause his untimely death? How is all this connected to the housewife who was killed the same morning? What is the part played by the mysterious Gun Club in all these events? Follow Satyajit as he attempts to uncover these dubious questions.

My Verdict: 

The author very beautifully creates the atmosphere to inculcate the sequential murders in the story. 

A simple story with a plethora of emotions exhibited by each of the characters meant for an enchanting read. This book has all the ingredients to keep you hooked. The reader is kept guessing of the killer till the very end and promises a nail-biting culmination

I am sure he has a penchant for the crime genre. Looking forward to the next book.The best thing about the book is its simple language. This makes it easy to read even for those who are not into a habit of reading. The only thing that I felt that the events moved quite fast at places otherwise the book was a good read.

Can't wait to read his next book 'Greed Ends'.
