Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my brand-new blog. Here, I will post news, updates and random musings, so be sure to follow me.

But first, I wanted to let everyone know about my brand-new mystery novel, available for FREE on Amazon until April 27th.

Higher Ground (Equinox mysteries Book 1) by Vishal Reddy

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZZV6278/...

HIGHER GROUND is the classic police procedural turned on its head. It alternates between the first 48 hours of a murder investigation and the last 48 hours of the murder victim's life, told from his point of view.

In Detroit, unemployed automotive worker Bruce Jalopnik is found murdered in an empty field. Homicide detective Amy Delvecchio, along with her partner Dexter Lemmon, is tasked with finding Bruce's killer. As the story unfolds, we see Bruce's final 48 hours from his POV -- as he desperately tries to reconnect with his estranged family -- interspersed with the first 48 hours of Amy's investigation. The suspects for Bruce's murder weave in and out of his final 48 hours as well as Amy's investigation, with lies and the truth never far apart. Meanwhile, Amy has to deal with her dying father and her long-absent sister who storms back into her life at precisely the wrong moment. In this psychological murder mystery full of twists and turns, Amy the detective and Bruce the victim end up having something in common -- both realizing that the past is never the past... and that the future is never guaranteed.

HIGHER GROUND is the first book in the forthcoming EQUINOX mystery anthology series. Each book will feature entirely different stories, characters and locations, but all will feature the same concept: the first 48 hours of the murder investigation interspersed with the last 48 hours of the murder victim's life, told from their point of view. Therefore, all books in the series can be read as stand-alone works. TAKE FIVE, the second book in the EQUINOX anthology series, is slated for release in Late 2017/Early 2018.

TAKE FIVE (Equinox Mysteries #2) now available!

My newest book, TAKE FIVE (Equinox Mysteries #2) is now available exclusively on Amazon Kindle for $2.99 or FREE on Kindle Unlimited! A paperback version will be available within the next week.

Take Five (Equinox Mysteries #2) by Vishal Reddy

http://amzn.to/2rj1j4b

Like HIGHER GROUND (Equinox Mysteries #1), TAKE FIVE traces the first 48 hours of a murder investigation while alternating with the last 48 hours of the victim's life, told from their POV.

If you like fast-paced mysteries full of twists, with witty dialogue and three-dimensional characters, then this is the book for you!

SYNOPSIS:

In Sunnyvale, California, -- the heart of Silicon Valley – Daisy Hale is a 24-year-old coder for MagnaSwift, one of the tech industry’s fastest-growing companies. Despite experiencing tragedy as a child and homelessness as a young adult, Daisy has overcome numerous obstacles to find gainful employment.

But MagnaSwift is a misogynistic hotbed of mistreatment and harassment, and Daisy’s furious that her impressive skills aren’t helping her advance within the company. So she uses her formidable talent to come up with a plan that will not only destroy MagnaSwift… but will also make her $10 million richer.

However, Daisy can’t shake the ghosts of the past or the present. She’s involved in a toxic relationship with her boyfriend, deep in debt to a violent loan shark, and navigating a workplace that’s overflowing with backstabbing, betrayals… and danger.

Meanwhile, Detective Stellan Coleman of the Sunnyvale Homicide Department needs to find out who murdered Daisy, the brilliant young woman cut down in the prime of her life. And like Daisy, Stellan has dealt with his share of tragedy too. Newly widowed and taking care of his young and technology-obsessed daughter, Stellan -- together with his volatile partner, Detective Enrique Montoya -- will stop at nothing to find justice for Daisy.

As Daisy and Stellan’s timelines alternate back and forth, the line between lies and the truth becomes blurred beyond recognition. Because in this fast-paced mystery full of heart-stopping twists, everybody’s a suspect… and nobody’s confessing.

This follow-up to the critically acclaimed HIGHER GROUND can be read as a stand-alone work. The only similarity is the concept of the first 48 hours of the investigation and the last 48 hours of the victim's life.

If you've previously enjoyed HIGHER GROUND, I think you'll love TAKE FIVE. And if you're new to my works, I hope you become a fan. Follow me here and on Twitter (@vreddyauthor) and Instagram (@vishal_reddy_author) for updates (or just to say hi). Thanks!
