Fraudster

There are people who will do anything to silence the ones who come in their way, including murder.

— A YOUNG BANKER is found dead after she deposes before a commission investigating large-scale financial fraud...

— A DOYEN OF CORPORATE INDIA falls to his death from his south Bombay flat...

— A HIGH-SECURITY SERVER ROOM of a multinational accounting firm is hacked and the hackers aren't looking for just company secrets...

Illicit finance, high-stakes crime and vicious manipulation come together in this story of corruption, greed and treachery among corporate India's black sheep. Arresting, fast-paced and written by an insider from the corporate world, Fraudster will keep you on your toes till the very end.

While comparisons to veteran thriller writer John Grisham are inevitable, Raman's writing is more inspired by the older canon of crime writing — The New Indian Express

Raman goes the Christie way in this excellent closed-room mystery that keeps us guessing till the very end even when the clues are out in the open — The Statesman

RV Raman picks a crime fiction to make a debut and weaves a tight plot and a clear narrative to keep you engrossed.- The Hindustan Times

Fraudster is an amusing work by first-time author, RV Raman, challenging some of the stereotypes in the genre of thrillers. The way the book is pieced together is remarkable, in that it looks nicely webbed. — The New Indian Express

If art imitates life, then we all need to be very worried. RV Raman's novel, Fraudster, is an insider's account of the less than salubrious side of the corporate world. — Deccan Chronicle
