  The story begins with Anindyasundor waking up at a registration office only to realise that he has died and is now at the gateway to heaven. He is surprised. He is even more shocked when the man at the counter tells him that he was murdered.  A middle-aged man in his 50's and an author by profession, who would bother killing him. After much nagging and pleading this man at the counter grants him a recap of his death. Only 24 hrs and a promise that he wouldn't change anything in the course of the day. Or else there are grave things waiting, including him being banished and going to hell.
  
  Anindyasundor wakes up again, this time in his bed. Confused whether it was all a dream. Soon there's a call from heaven and he realises his wish has been granted for 24 hrs and in those hours, he has to find the culprit. This time it is different. Everyone around him has many reasons to murder him. But His young wife, his jobless nephew, and his gardener too.
  
  What follows is a series of comic tragic affairs throughout the day. But Anindyasundor is not ready to be killed again. Will he change the ending and escape death?
  
  Originally written in Bengali by the prolific author Anish Deb, translated by Arunava Sinha, this story has come alive in the voice of the versatile actor, Rahul Bose.

  Sage Poe had one goal for Bone Gap's annual Snow Gala: enjoy a quiet evening that definitely isn't a date with a handsome Sheriff. But when socialite Regina Kane drops dead at her own winter wonderland, Sage's plans melt faster than an ice sculpture in July. 
   
   
   
  Behind the designer dresses and crystal champagne flutes lurks a blizzard of secrets. There's Regina's perfect husband with his practiced smile, her prodigal daughter back in town with an axe to grind, and enough social climbers to fill a country club. Everyone had a motive, and everyone has something to lose. 
   
   
   
  Between dodging Aunt Hecate's increasingly unpredictable magical outbursts and pretending she doesn't feel that spark every time Sheriff Emmet Quill looks her way, Sage must untangle a web of lies as intricate as the snowflakes falling outside. 
   
   
   
  But someone at this gala is playing a deadlier game than social politics. As the temperature drops and the body count threatens to rise, Sage discovers that in Bone Gap's high society . . . 
   
   
   
  The higher you climb, the harder you fall. The brightest smiles hide the darkest secrets. And sometimes, the most dangerous weapon is a whispered word. 
   
   
   
  SNOW GALA. Where the elite meet . . . to kill.

A brilliant scientist, Hannah spent her early career working on the enigma of the Soundfield, looking for answers; now, resigned, she has focussed all her energies on keeping Isaac living, not just alive.To do so, she will have to lie to the people she knows and hope she can trust the ones she doesn't. Because the only thing more dangerous than her lies, is the truth of what she has done.* * *'As fascinating as it was terrifying.' – Holly Seddon, author of The Woman on the Bridge''The Quiet took my breath away. gripping, fiercely intelligent and quietly heartbreaking.
