THE CROOKED SHADOWS IN HEAVEN
Author: Babu Chathur
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1645871738
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 717
Book Description
The Crooked Shadows in heaven is based on an actual incident, reported in Chathur’s local newspapers on 19th January 2005. It’s about Sindhu, a home nurse attached to Jayan family and who, under strange circumstances, was implicated in the murder of her beloved husband (‘Yetta’) and jailed. The author’s curiosity in this case was kindled by Unni, his friend and well-wisher, who happened to know her. This book is a culmination of a series of interviews with Sindhu, who is currently serving her life sentence in Kannur Jail. Another interesting element is the addition of short but crisp extracts from Sindhu’s personal diary, which was safely preserved by Sushma Chechi–Jayan’s wife. The story speaks about how Sindhu, a highly religious, god-fearing, innocent and kindhearted yet adamant woman, was very attached to her lover-turned-husband. She was so blindly in love with him that, even years after his demise, she refused to believe that her ‘Yetta’ was unfaithful to her. The enthralling events of her life are captured in this rather long but interesting book, written in the first person-exactly how she would narrate the events of her 37 years long eventful life. This book is dedicated to Sindhu with the hope that someday, she will read it-her own life story.

Book Description
Everyone has secrets. Especially those who live in the shadows. Cristian Slava doesn’t fear much. After he was betrayed by the man he called an uncle, leaving upstate New York for the Carpathian Mountains of his childhood is more a matter of practicality than fear. With him is Atlas Kinkaid, a former marine turned fierce bodyguard…and fierce lover, albeit a hell of a complicated one. Cristian’s cunning is tested by the politics and intrigue of the vampire families of Romania, and the warm welcome he and Atlas were assured of quickly turns to ash as they race to unravel the mystery of an old friend’s disappearance. Searching for the missing vampire draws them into a web of betrayal and half-truths that reaches further than Cristian ever could have imagined, and they uncover a string of grisly murders that bear a striking similarity to the attack that changed Atlas’s life forever. Stalked by the past and uncertain of the future, Cristian learns he does have something to fear after all… Losing the man he loves.
