A thriller that revolves around the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala will hit the stands on June 26.
Titled In The Name of God and authored by Mumbai-based Ravi Subramanian, the book focuses on the challenges that the ancient temple has had to face after the uncovering of a treasure trove in its cellars in 2013, according to a press release here.
“I have always tried to build in contemporary themes into my thrillers. Am surprised that, given the happenings at the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, no one has written a story yet with it as the backdrop, Mr. Subramanian said.
“ In The Name of God is a story which not only explores the seriousness of what is, but also goes into the realms of what could have been. Money and religion are the two key constituents of a thriller and we have an abundance of both at the Padmanabhaswamy Temple,” he said.
“I have been very respectful to the deity as I have gone about building the thriller based in the temple and its surroundings,” he said in the release.
The Incredible Banker , The Bankster , If God was a Banker and Bankerupt are some of the other books by Mr. Subramanian.
