The first volume of Tejas Desai's international crime epic The Brotherhood Chronicle is an electrifying multicultural thriller told at a breathtaking pace. Niral Solanke, a down on his luck private investigator living in New York City during The Great Recession, is trying to redeem himself from a life of sin by rejoining a conservative Hindu religious organization called The Brotherhood. But when his childhood friend Priya Mehta dies mysteriously, he is tasked with investigating her demise. As he probes her boyfriend, wealthy financier Vishal Patel, and her brother, Hindu fanatic Amrat Mehta, he realizes nothing is as it seems as he is drawn into a netherworld of crime, corruption and religious fervor. This second edition contains many additional features, including a preface by the author, a note from the copyeditor, a detailed map of New York City, a list of characters, an enhanced Glossary of Hindu Terms, a study guide, trivia questions and a peek at the upcoming second volume, The Run and Hide.

Submerge yourself in the subversive classic Good Americans on the 10th anniversary of its publication. Containing six short stories, a three-part novella and a provocative introduction, Good Americans features some of the most memorable characters in contemporary American literature: Riny Renaldo, the self-described "Old Guido" who waxes nostalgic about a bygone America until he meets his archrival, bratty teenager Taina; Javier, a blue collar assistant professor equally obsessed with acquiring tenure and his Asian masseuse May; Peter and Nilesh, former college buddies pondering their destinies on a meditative hike; scarred Iraq war veteran Tom, trying to understand his social role back home in rural New York; the once inseparable siblings Fred and Bridget, torn by expectation and circumstance while studying abroad; and Dhan, a charismatic lawyer seeking to acquire urban power. Hailed by Kirkus Reviews upon its release as "a solid collection of rare caliber" that "speaks volumes about the human condition and modern life in America," this comprehensive portrait of the underbelly of American society is even more timely, powerful and thought-provoking than when it was first published a decade ago.

The Brotherhood is Tejas Desai's first novel. Set in contemporary New York City, this hypnotic thriller moves at a breathtaking pace and keeps you guessing until the very end. Niral Solanke, a failed writer, has become a sleazy private investigator who tails wealthy adulterers. But when his childhood friend Priya commits suicide, her brother Amrat believes it could be murder-perpetrated by wealthy financier Vishal Patel. As Niral investigates, he realizes that nothing is what it seems, as he is confronted by betrayal, religious hypocrisy, sexual deviancy and much more, until shocking revelations threaten his core beliefs-and his very existence. Informative as well as entertaining, the book includes a Glossary of Hindu Terms. It is the first part of The Brotherhood Trilogy.
