Devil in Pinstripes-Book Review

Ravi Subramaniam has hit the bulls eye this time.

His new novel is an brilliant drama which offers an insight into the dark world of corporate politics,boardroom intricacies and the high profile world of international MNC banks.

The Novel is through the eyes of its lead protagonist who has to deal with the wiles of an established banking honcho whose entity has been merged with the global bank.

The novel starts with a slow pace and gradually meanders towards an intense buildup as the protagonist's better half joins the same organization and is caught in the crossfire between the two heavyweights.

How the protagonist diplomatically tackles the challenges faced by him with panache and through flank attacks to move up the corporate ladder forms the rest of the intense drama.

But the crescendo of the novel is the gripping climax,where the cliched phrase "the survival of the fittest" holds true with the advantage falling on the protagonist with the most skills rather than the most connections.

With this novel Ravi has heralded himself to be India's answer to John Grisham!!

Eagerly waiting for the next work from ravi's quiver.
