BOOK SUMMARY:
A renowned scientist is sipping his drink in a five star suite when he drops dead. Was it a cardiac arrest or a well-planned murder?
When a neuroscientist is found dead a few days later, Inspector Abinay Chaturvedi is perplexed at the common evidence found at both the crime scenes – a carved arrow with a mysterious engraving.
As Abinay and his trusted man Lance set out to unravel the mystery, a young and charismatic historian hints at the possible hand of a two-thousand-year-old secret society in the killings.
Is there really a secret society working to safeguard dharma? Is Abinay ready to unravel the centuries-old secret? Will Abinay and his team reach the bottom of the mystery of the carved arrow?
Faceless: The Mystery of the Carved Arrow is an intriguing journey of an honest policeman trying to find the truth, and the nail-biting after effects of man’s challenging nature with science.

REVIEW:
Faceless, a murder mystery by author Ashwin Karthik is quite an intriguing tale about the investigation done by police officer Abhinay into the death of a famous scientist that leads to many more curious events. As someone who doesn’t normally pick up such books, I found the story to be interesting but not so much that it kept it on the edge of my seat.
A meticulous mélange of history dating back to a 2000 year old secret Indian society and technology that governs our lives today, Faceless is packed with information that will leave the reader with more knowledge, which is always a huge advantage. The way the author combines the two was simply astounding.
A book that’s less than 150 pages with a story that is quite calculating, characters that are distinct and full of interesting facts and information, Faceless was a satisfactory read that leaves hope for more to come. Fans of mystery will find this to be a quick and cool read!
