The Victims Of Desire – Book Synopsis
- Ram Mishra
A man’s desires are like ripples on water, they never cease to enlarge.
In the year 1808, a precious 280 carat diamond gets stolen from an ancient Kali temple in Rajasthan, India. Two Hundred years later, in the year 2008, the diamond resurfaces in Australia. The Diamond is presently worth a staggering Ten Million Dollars. It is currently owned by a cunning millionaire, Alexander Fox, the powerful owner of Fox Ammunitions Inc, one of the biggest weapons manufacturing company in Australia.
Fox has kept the diamond in his ancestral mansion in Dubbo, Australia, where the diamond lies in a safety vault placed inside a secret underground room which is secured by a centralized computer security system and is constantly guarded by armed security guards. To steal the diamond from Fox’s ancestral mansion, KK Raina, assembles a team consisting of Ira Handrich, an amazingly beautiful computer hacker; Siddhanth Roy, an ex-Indian Air Force pilot, simultaneously battling the global economic downturn and fate to save his dying daughter; Harry D’Cruz, a brilliant safe cracker whose dreams were shattered during the 26/11 terrorist attacks in India; and Karan Singh, the inside man. The team travels to Australia in order to pull off the heist. The scene is set for an extraordinary adventure which elicits everyone’s obscurest desires.

Seductive. Great fun. "The Victims Of Desire" possesses a roguish and extremely well-informed and realistic slant on the unsalubrious side of a diamond heist. A book of pace, tension and interest that grips the attention and bangs along like a series of explosives.

Ram Mishra successfully draws a web of fiction around the reader....He establishes the characters with great finesse and then shows his class in tightening the web until the climax.

Crazy dream-like thriller about a diamond heist which tells the twisted stories of its character's in a fast paced way. The book is full of incidents, both international and domestic, the novel is an example of its author's excellent art of pure story-telling. An engrossing, well spun tale of betrayal beyond comprehension and desire-to-fulfillment. Almost insanely readable.
