About the author

Ruby Gupta writes crime and espionage thrillers that weave real investigations with human vulnerability, moral ambiguity, and unexpected twists. Her acclaimed novel The Secret of Leifeng Pagoda, inspired by the mysterious deaths of Indian nuclear scientists, is currently being adapted for screen. She is also the author of No Illusions in Xanadu (Bloomsbury) and A Degree in Death, which was longlisted for the Crossword Book Award.

A former journalist, Gupta brings a reporter’s curiosity and precision to her novels, grounding them in research, atmosphere, and lived detail. She was honoured as the International Writer-in-Residence at the Agatha Christie Festival in England—an experience that deepened her engagement with global mystery-writing traditions.

Ruby has published ten books, including literary nonfiction and academic titles with Cambridge University Press. Her stories often explore secrets, power, and the thin line between truth and deception, shaped by her background in investigation, communication, and long years of observing human behaviour.

She currently serves as Professor & Head of Department at the ACC Wing, Indian Military Academy, where she teaches, mentors, and continues to write. An avid traveller who has explored more than 25 countries, she often discovers her next story in an unfamiliar street, a fleeting conversation, or a quiet library somewhere far from home.

When she isn’t writing or travelling, Gupta is reading mysteries, researching obscure real-life cases, or sketching out new twists for her next thriller.

[Raman R · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book that gives examples of job application letters and many other business letters, technical & business reports and proposals -- all of which are useful for every management and technical student. One important part of this book is the section on Leadership and Team. I recommend this book.

I feel this is the best book on the topic because of its real life examples of Technical and Business Communication which any working person would need to know. The icing is the last section on soft skills - very useful.
