Corporate thriller writer Subramanian signs multi-book deal

Corporate thriller writer Ravi Subramanian, who has penned bestsellers like "The Bankster", "The Incredible Banker" and "If God was a Banker", has inked a multi-book deal with Penguin India with the first book scheduled to hit stores in September.
In the first book, set in Mumbai, Coimbatore and Boston, he creates an impeccably researched world where everyone has a motive to kill.
"Nothing is as it seems in this cunningly vicious thriller where the plot turns on a dime. The story is based in one of the world's best universities and is a page turner," the publishers said.
Dubbed 'The John Grisham of Banking' by the Wall Street Journal, Ravi's books have sold over half a million copies. Set in the world of high finance, his books feature a thrilling amalgamation of high intrigue, crime, corruption, sex, money and greed.

He won the Economist Crossword Popular Award for "The Incredible Banker" in 2011.
On his new venture, Subramanian says, "I am incredibly excited and delighted to partner with Penguin for my future publications. I am particularly looking forward to engage with readers in new, interesting and creative ways. Having grown up reading books and classics from the Penguin stable, I can't wait to join the Penguin family."
Says Chiki Sarkar, Publisher Penguin India, "Ravi Subramanian thrillers grip you and don't let go and each book is even better than the last. We are extremely excited and proud to be publishing him at penguin. His fans will have a big treat ahead of them this September."

In the first book, Cirisha Naraynan, a professor who has risen meteorically, stumbles on a cryptic message. Aditya Raisinghania, her banker husband sets up one of the most innovative financial scams in India. Her profiteering father harvests Australia's largest bird - the Emu in India. In the midst of all this, the American elections are on and the debate on gun control has reached a fever pitch.
