Vish Dhamija’s Cold Justice delivers it hot!
Deccan ChronicleRajeshwari Kalyanam This legal thriller has on trial a woman judge, a young accomplished and feared judge at that, who obviously has her set of enemies. Now it is up to one of the best lawyers on the job Akash HIngorani to get behind this case to help Shilpa Singh, with evidence quite clearly veering towards establishing her as the murderer. One of the reasons Vish Dhamija is one of most read fiction writers of India is that his novels explore India, in this case modern India with all its much relatable good, bad and ugly sides without being judgmental, or excessively dramatic. The novel, Cold Justice, makes for a good read also for the flashes of quirky sense of wry humour, the author is known for- usually laced with an evident dig at the ways of the world — “If the prosecution had been given a choice, they’d have personally sent invitations to every member of the media. They’d have organised a circus, may be an event, called in Britney Spears to pull in more crowds and hired Mercedes Benzes to cart them around.” With 278 pages tucked in between the covers, the book is the perfect prescription for fiction readers looking for a simple, fast paced courtroom thriller with all its elements intact.
