Reunion is the first book in a series entitled The Gangster and The Politician Chronicles.
Reunion is about: - a politician who is ready to change how his political party works, - two industrial conglomerates ready to fight to any extent to grab an invaluable parcel of land, - a powerless kid turned into a ruthless gangster, willing to do anything it takes to bring the crime world under one roof.
The story is all about the rise to power. At one end, the assassination attempt on a popular politician fails. On the other, a righteous child-turned gangster rises to power in the slums of Mumbai.
A politician is against a criminal adversary. To defeat him, there is only one way. Join with the crime world. The impetus is on the mayoral elections in the city of Mumbai. But there are obstacles. Will the politician achieve his ends? Will he succeed in the path which he deems to be true? Track his journey as he lives in the national capital and plans his endgame. There are greater forces at work and he has to do everything he can to stop them.
A recently turned gangster is against the controlling nature of his mentor. To barter an alliance, he must make a terrible decision. Track his journey as he takes part in the power play. With a violent past, he really has nothing to lose.
The author captured many aspects of India that seem incomprehensible to people who haven’t been there: specifically the concept of slums as viable neighborhoods and communities.... of course in a political thriller with some intrigue thrown in. Really enjoyed the book.
The story is based on the slums of Mumbai in India. It describes the poverty that everyone endures. We are corrupt police and politicians reaking havoc on these poor people. The novel is full of intrigue, murders, assassins and a group that is trying to improve the impoverished slums. A page turner, a thriller with a great storyline. A must read.
This is a good example of how poor are controlled by the political arena to obtain power over the people. Also to what they extremes that they will go to ,to achieve their goal. Very interesting twist and turn,well written.
This book is now named Separation: Murder Mystery Romance (Power Play Trilogy Book 1). I feel like the 2nd book will be better now that they got the background info done and can move on with the story.
This book is so totally different from the norm. It tells of life in the slums of India and how one young man survived. It's not fun but very absorbing and very well written.
