Camera On His Shoulder

Private investigator Pat Shah has spent years chasing the shadows of other people's secrets across India-solving cases from Bombay's piers to the back alleys of old Delhi. The voice that tells his story seems detached, precise... almost mechanical. Someone-or something-has always been watching him, describing his every move like a recording of his life.

Spanning mist-shrouded coastlines, rugged hills, and the quiet alleys of memory, Camera on His Shoulder is a meditation on loyalty, perception, and the stories we fail to see until it's too late. Told through the eyes of a first-person "witness," this novel reveals how even a silent observer can harbour a beating heart-and how bravery comes in small packages.

In this neo-noir odyssey set in 1980s India, perception bleeds into betrayal. As Shah unravels a labyrinth of forgeries, smuggling rings, and false identities trailing a missing woman's cryptic path, the watcher's gaze proves pivotal in piercing the mystery.
