ABOUT THE AUTHOR :
BOOK REVIEW :
Set in the elite power corridors of New Delhi, especially the shadowy world of Lutyens’ Delhi, the novel dives into the lives of those who run the city from the backseat.
Kishan Kumar is a driver; trained to listen, trained to look away. For years, he has chauffeured Delhi’s corrupt elite, absorbing their secrets in silence.
But when a farmhouse meeting in Ghitorni ends in a cold-blooded execution, Kishan makes a split-second decision: he steals “The Ledger”, a digital vault of encrypted secrets that could bring powerful men to their knees.
Overnight, he becomes India’s most hunted man.
A ₹5 crore bounty. Ruthless hunters. No safe ground.
Instead of a politician or journalist, we follow a driver; the man who hears everything but is seen by no one. This perspective feels fresh and powerful.
The novel tackles class divide, performative reform politics, and the uncomfortable reality that corruption thrives on silence.
The idea that exposure is more powerful than justice is especially striking.
From smog-filled Delhi roads to the dusty stretches of Rajasthan, the setting adds constant tension and urgency.
🧠Themes That Linger
• Secrets are currency.
• Power survives on invisibility.
• When the unseen decide to act, they don’t beg; they audit.
The Lutyens Audit blends high-stakes chase with sharp political insight. It’s fast-paced, relevant, and rooted in contemporary Indian realities.
A compelling read for anyone who enjoys political thrillers layered with social commentary, and a reminder that sometimes, the most dangerous person in the room is the one no one notices.
