A Natural History of Violence
From the author of Dead Meat, another grisly crime story set in Delhi.
A troubled evening leads a young man with a traumatic past to commit a horrific crime. The female journalist assigned to the case finds herself being pulled deeper into the darkness as she learns about dangerous secrets from the past.
Moving from the glitz of present-day Delhi to the chaos and cruelty that both preceded and followed Partition, “A Natural History of Violence” is a sharp-edged crime novella that explores the handing down of generational trauma.
Ankush Saikia is the author of 10 books, including the novels The Girl From Nongrim Hills (Penguin India, 2013) and The Forest Beneath the Mountains (Speaking Tiger, 2021), as well as Tears of the Dragon (Speaking Tiger, 2023), the fourth book in the Detective Arjun Arora series.
