Ray Rao

Ray Rao spent his formative years in India before coming to America over three

decades ago to become an award-winning academic endocrinologist. His abiding love

for India’s history, traditions, and people underpins a deep understanding of its

spectrum of religious and ethnic contrasts, ranging from the sublime to the grotesque.

Bloodbath is the first in a planned series of suspense thrillers set at the intersection of

his intimate knowledge of Indian society, his life experiences as a world traveller and

physician, and his study of the martial arts. He is widely-published, and the author of

over forty medical publications, including a book on the unique influence of culture and

tradition on medical education in Japan.
