Random House India and Cornerstone, a
division of Random House UK, are delighted to announce the launch of Private India on the July 21, 2014. Private India is a new collaboration between James Patterson and
Ashwin Sanghi and is the latest book in the global bestselling Private series.
Teaming the
world’s biggest selling thriller writer with India’s bestselling author of The Krishna Key, Private India combines the trademark suspense and fast-moving plots
of Patterson’s writing complemented with the exhaustive research and gripping
plots of Sanghi’s thrillers.
James Patterson comments:
“Writing my Private series of books has
given me the opportunity to work with local authors on thrillers set all over
the world. With its vibrant and chaotic cities, and rich history and heritage
there could be no better place to set Private’s next adventure than India. And
in Ashwin Sanghi, with his wide historical knowledge and his love of a
fast-paced plot, there could be no better writing partner.”
Ashwin Sanghi comments:
“In the past three years, James Patterson
has sold more books than any other author across the globe. It is my privilege
and honour to be co-writing an India-specific thriller along with the master
storyteller himself. I also see it as an opportunity for me to hone my skills
in a slightly different but immensely exciting genre. I am quite certain that
the fusion of ideas from East and West will result in a gripping and engaging
read.”
