Hickory Dickory Shock by Sundip Gorai
Publisher : Rupa & Co.
About The Book
A high octane thriller that weaves seemingly unrelated genres – Indian IT Industry, a chirpy Bollywood style romance, a chase of cryptic clues woven around Indian heritage monuments, espionage, mystery (seven subgenres of mystery fiction interwoven in this tale), and a takeover battle to control a giant corporation (A mad cap satire cum thriller, loosely inspired by the world’s biggest technology scam ).The propelling force of the book is a convoluted high octane ‘DA VINCI CODE STYLE’ cipher trail chase, woven around India’s facts and fiction (Connaught Place, Kamasutra, Indus Valley, Vedic Math, Bhagavad Gita and more).
Synopsis
The Hero: Tuten Chatterjee(210) – named so as he is born at 2:10 AM, a mathematical whiz-kid with an uncanny knack for finding patterns, chances upon a webchat between two mysterious web-chatters – HICKORY and DICKORY, and learns about the deep conspiracy brewing inside SHIVAN Computers. Things take a murky turn when a software innovator is murdered in a packed auditorium by an invisible killer, an unseen assassin kills a software visionary in a locked room, and a mysterious masked man sabotages a server room and vanishes with LoRD – a cutting-edge wonder software invention from India. The trouble heightens when formidable tycoon Raja, Chairman of SHIVAN Computers, hatches a billion dollar accounting fraud by manipulating the accounting books of LoRD.
The turn of events throws SHIVAN Computers onto a course of destruction. 210, Geetika (aka Geeks - 210’s romantic interest, a lady blessed with a razor-sharp brain), fellow techies, and Gurpreet (210’s mom – an ex-Kabaddi champ with a penchance for unintentional wisecracks) are now inadvertently sucked in a race against time to save LoRD and the livelihood of thousands of techies. They are left with a handful of bizarre clues – balance sheets, bizarre CD ROMs, a strange flute, Red Fort, Newton, Hawa Mahal, Vedic Math, Lord Ganesha, Indus Valley scripts, and more, but then, they have six hours before all goes topsy-turvy.
Will the techies succeed in stopping the villains, or will SHIVAN Computers fade in the hoary mists of time?
A rollercoaster that twists and turns at a breathtaking pace and as the curtain drops inside a baffling maze the mystery unfolds to a shocking climax.
