Synopsis

Maxine Rosen, a demure, clumsy, Chicago caterer gets more than she bargains for when she discovers her father’s coded research document linked to health pills unearthed from the ancient Indus Valley civilization. The pills, she learns, carry frightening secrets about the true nature of her father’s death; a truth that may be more than she can bear. Enlisting the help of handsome professor Julian McIntosh, Max travels across the continents to unlock the mystery of her father’s research, struggling to keep one step ahead of a powerful German pharmaceutical company who will stop at nothing to keep the disturbing document under wraps.

About this title

About the Author

Ranjini Iyer was born in Germany, but grew up in India, and now lives in Chicago with her husband and two sons. She trained firstly as an engineer, purely because she hero worshipped her PhD holding father, but then took an MBA in the Unites States and decided to stay on. Careers as a small business owner, consultant, film producer, and non-profit organisation managing director followed, but a latent urge to write then took hold. Following the birth of her children she focused more on writing, appreciating the flexible hours that it also brought, and `The Colossus’ is her first novel. It is described as `a perfect blend of humour, romance, and suspense, which throws audiences into an all-too-plausible mystery, hurling thrills and twists that will keeps readers guessing until the chilling finale’. Indeed, the finale is expertly concealed and surprising.
