Katherine Kovacic

Author

Hard-boiled writing and a rich setting. Crime, corruption and long-game power struggles (within the family and between rival crime bosses) play out in what has been described as "India's answer to 'The Godfather'". It's literary, seasoned with a good dash of action and violence.

From Katherine's 3 favorite reads in 2024.

Lee Matthew Goldberg

Author

A sprawling crime saga taking place in India, Age of Vice is a breathtaking novel about gangsters and lovers that reads like a great film.

The characters came to life, and while the book is over 500 pages, those pages turned so fast that it never felt too long. I was completely immersed and look forward to its sequel.
