Antisocial Arun Krishnan

'Arun Krishnan takes the Indian-in-America novel screaming into noir territory with this fast-paced, gorily entertaining serial-killer thriller.' - Nilanjana Roy

It is a cool summer evening in New York and Arjun Clarkson, a bright young ad agency executive, is having a drink with his ex-colleague, Emily Hayes. For years, Arjun has suffered due to his miserable childhood in an Indian orphanage, his low-caste birth and the pointed cruelty of an abusive foster mother. Unaware of his past, Emily triggers a disturbing memory and Arjun ends up killing her.

To lead the police astray, Arjun begins to exploit the loopholes of the virtual world to wreak vengeance on people who have injured him - or are plain strangers. A compulsive page-turner, Antisocial will make you pause before your next check-in, like or share.
