Prey on the Prowl: A Crime Novel

As Assistant Radha asserts that it was Kavya who had the means and the motive to murder Ranjit her spouse, Pravar her paramour and Shakeel the cop, who played foul with Pravar, reckoning that when the ill motives of the natural suspects to commit a murder are an open secret, someone with a hidden agenda might be tempted to use that as a camouflage for his subterfuge, Detective Dhruva begins to look around for the culprit.
Schooled in letter-writing, BS Murthy, born 27 Aug 1948, graduated to articulate his managerial ideas in thirty-odd published articles before penning fiction with the ‘novel art’. Beginning with 'Benign Flame - Saga of love', he fashioned two more ‘plot and character’ driven novels, 'Jewel-less Crown - Saga of life' and 'Crossing the Mirage – Passing through youth' before switching over to the narrative non-fiction with 'Puppets of Faith: Theory of communal strife'. After versifying the Sanskrit epics, Vyasa’s 'Bhagvad-Gita - Treatise of self-help' and Valmiki’s 'Sundara Kãnda - Hanuman’s Odyssey' into English and shaping two stage plays, 'Slighted Souls' and ‘Men at work on Women at work’, he returned to fiction with 'Glaring Shadow' in the stream of consciousness mode and 'Prey on the Prowl', a crime novel. Back onto the stage, he wrote 'Castle of Despair' and a radio play 'A love on hold'.
