  'Every thoughtful person, concerned for the future of this country, needs to read this book.' - Prof. Irfan Habib 
  Yaadon ke Bikhre Moti, the Hindi translation of the bestselling Remnants of a Separation, is a unique attempt to revisit the Partition through objects that refugees carried with them across the border. These belongings absorbed the memory of a time and place, remaining latent and undisturbed for generations. They now speak of their owner's pasts as they emerge as testaments to the struggle, sacrifice, pain and belonging at an unparalleled moment in history. A string of pearls gifted by a maharaja, carried from Dalhousie to Lahore, reveals the grandeur of a life that once was. A notebook of poems, brought from Lahore to Kalyan, shows one woman's determination to pursue the written word despite the turmoil around her. The product of years of research, this book is an alternative history of the Partition - the first and only one told through material memory that makes the event tangible even seven decades later.

  A five-year-old unsolved murder, a U.S. senate candidate with a past to hide, and an alleged art forgery that rocks the art world: All pieces of a multi-dimensional puzzle facing Detective Veronica Brilliant and the women of the Monet Detective Agency.  
  Hired to solve a cold-case murder, Brilliant, a transgender former Marine MP struggling with her own sexuality, faces an unrelenting succession of threats from an unknown source, raising the suspicion that her own client, the murder victim's grandson, could be the killer. Embroiled in a controversy arising from the sale of a famous work of art, Joan Miro's The Reaper, the grandson, Hamilton Blethen, fires Brilliant, adding to the suspicion.  
  Driven by her own demons to find the murderer, Brilliant searches for Blethen's estranged mother, who might have information about the murder and her son's innocence, sending Brilliant down a dangerous path that leads to Magnolia Kanaranzi, a Boston media magnate in the midst of a campaign to become the next Senator from Massachusetts.  
  Propelled by her crazed quest for political power, Kanaranzi unleashes the might of her wealth and influence to keep the investigation from interfering with the election. As polls close, puzzle pieces fall in place, but the final picture is not the one Brilliant expected, realizing neither her client, nor the Senator-elect from Massachusetts, are who they appear to be.

  In the serene surroundings of Caesarea Philippi, nestled amid the rugged landscapes of northern Israel, Jesus and his disciples embarked on a journey that would lead them to a moment of profound revelation and truth. 
  As they walked along the dusty roads, Jesus turned to his disciples and asked them a question that would echo through the ages. 
  "Who do people say that I am?" he inquired, his eyes searching the faces of his closest followers. 
  The disciples exchanged glances, pondering the question carefully. They had heard many rumors and speculations about Jesus from the crowds that followed him - some believed him to be a prophet, others thought he was a great teacher or a revolutionary leader. 
  Finally, one of the disciples spoke up, his voice hesitant but earnest. "Some say you are John the Baptist, returned from the dead," he said. "Others say you are Elijah, or Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
