Another debut novel of an Indian author, The Body in the Back Seat is a fiction thriller written by Salil Desai, an author and a film-maker.
The story starts with a body found in the back seat of a car in the tow yard of the Chaturshringi police station. Prima facie, it looked as a case of suicide. But, senior inspector Saralkaar was not convinced. He sets out to find the truth behind it. What seemed to be a suicide was actually a murder – a murder by the victim’s wife who was caught in a loveless marriage and who did not want her son to be known as a child of a gay.
The novel maintains the thrill and suspense till the end. The story line is sharp and the description articulate which keep the readers glued to the book.
