Assassin
K. R. Meera
A woman living in the big city survives a close shave with death, then realises the attempt is much more complicated than it first seemed. K. R. Meera's thriller was translated from the Malayalam by J. Devika.
Vivek’s Notes
The Kerala literary superstar's latest is a nailbiter from beginning to end. Translated by J Devika, it begins with a close shave with death for a woman living in the big city, who realises the incident is much more complicated than that. Believed to invoke Gauri Lankesh's murder; Meera has said it is perhaps the most personal fiction she has ever written.
