A Will to Kill
Mist, mountains, murder...
Ageing millionaire Bhaskar Fernandez has invited his relatives to the remote and possibly haunted Greybrooke Manor in the misty Nilgiris for the last time. He knows that his guests expect to gain from his impending death, and to safeguard himself against violence, he writes two conflicting wills.
Which one of them comes into force depends on how he dies.
Fernandez also invites Harith Athreya, a seasoned investigator, to watch what unfolds. When a landslide occurs, temporarily isolating them and resulting in a murder, Athreya finds that murder is not the only thing the mist conceals.
'I love RV Raman's Harith Athreya with his cool, curious resourcefulness. A Will To Kill is a good traditional mystery with twists and turns set in a colonial era mansion in the Nilgiri Hills' — Ovidia Yu, author of CWA-shortlisted THE MIMOSA TREE MYSTERY
'The influence of Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr on the narrative is compelling...influences of author Ngaio Marsh... subtle, clear, ironic, but always elegant and peppered with wit; characters sharply, sometimes hilariously, drawn' — The Telegraph India

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
