Shoot the Crow: A missing star and a deadly hitman on the trail.

by Raposo Nico

She had a pang of guilt as she walked to the door. She had told only one person what she was doing; and even then not the whole truth. She certainly hadn’t mentioned the gun. The reality was that she might well never see anyone from this life again.

Teen detectives Raj; Nagi and Madhuri are drawn into a web of deceit when Ameeta Soares; a rising Bollywood star; disappears from her swank Malabar Hill apartment. When the missing actress is accused of a brutal murder; the trio must plumb the depths of Mumbai’s underworld in a desperate attempt to track her down. Along the way; they play a dangerous game and end up in the sights of a cold-blooded killer.

Who is the Crow; determined to eliminate Ameeta? And whose is the shadowy hand directing the Crow’s every move? The Bollywood Knights embark on a roller-coaster ride which takes them from the glamorous hangouts of Bollywood stars to seedy back-alley dance bars till the final; heart-stopping showdown.

Not really a thriller. More suited for the 'Hardy Boys' readers
