![Shot, Down [Paperback] Vivek Rao](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gOnxftUUL._SY445_SX342_.jpg)
This is an amazing creation from Vivek Rao. A gripping crime thriller that, by any chance if you start reading, is impossible to let go till you have reached the last line! Apart from the fundamental ingredients of a mystery story (all those sophisticated plots, twists, turns, thrills and chills) which are available in plenty herein, there are a couple of other things that really appealed to me.
One, the beautiful description of Mumbai, its weather, and the different locations from far south, right up to the suburbs. These would fill any Mumbai-kar(ite) with so many warm and nostalgic feelings; that charm, variety, glamour, and above all, people, which make this city so unique.
The other striking feature was the realistic articulation of technical topics, which is also comprehensible and enjoyable to an average non-technical reader. The description of modus oprendi of terrorists, police and spies, high-tech security techniques, among others, is amazing. Clearly shows the amount of research that has gone through, across multiple areas of study.
Such books which provide instruction along with amusement, deserve special respect. The average Indian in his natural care-free attitude is so ignorant of key aspects of national security!
And there are other interesting encounters too, which gel very naturally with the storyline.
In summary, Highly Recommended!

Gripping !!
I loved his take on my city Mumbai. It felt so real and I could relate to the places and it was as if I was almost in the middle of the story. The plot and the tech stuff is interesting. The detailing of some of the scenes is mindblowing - the morgue scene was one of the hardest hitting. I felt that there was a little bit extra emotions! :-D But hey, this is a very very Indian book so emotions to banta hain na !It was a lovely read and I will recommend it to anyone looking for fast paced thriller! I hope to see more from the author soon.
