Reading action thrillers is a fascinating experience. They are exactly like watching action movies. Suspense and adventure stories get readers' hearts racing and keep them turning the pages until the very end. The quicker the speed, it appears, the more delightful the thriller.
Anup Jetty's Kalki is a riveting action thriller. Uttara, who resides in Durgapur, West Bengal, is central to the plot. Her father is a farmer, and her mother is a stay-at-home mom. Uttara and her friend Rajat went to a party outside of the city one day. Rajat is the son of ex-politician. Uttara was discovered in a wilderness two days later and brutally raped and murdered. Who did it is revealed inside the pages of the book. The novel contains numerous subplots that take place in diverse settings such as a theatre, a defence institution, a court, the city government hospital, and many more, all of which have no link to the story at first. But, in the end, all of those subplots fit together like jigsaw pieces to form a fantastic tale.
The author's narrative abilities are up to the mark as he takes readers on an exciting tour through the Indian legal system, both from the public and the judge's perspectives. The pacing is great, with just the proper amount of action, court drama, and adrenaline to keep the audience interested throughout.
Overall, an intriguing and well-written story that is bound to leave the readers with a lasting impression.
