The Bloom
You can leave the grove. The grove doesn't leave you.By Sagar Pudale
Length17h 52m
About this audiobook
An Indian architect living in London discovers that the compound in his bloodline — grown by his grandfather in a Kerala backwater — has become the operational foundation of a trafficking network that has moved hundreds of women across South and Southeast Asia. To expose it, he must enter a flooded Rajasthan fort, face the intelligence who built the network, and decide what he is willing to permanently become.
The Bloom is a literary crime thriller that operates at the intersection of pharmaceutical crime, human trafficking & the ethics of grief.
A relentless psychological crime thriller set across Mumbai, Kerala, Nagaland, Myanmar, London, and New York, The Bloom moves at the speed of a chase and the depth of a nightmare — the kind of book that gets under the skin and stays there.
Perfect for readers of Don Winslow, Stieg Larsson, and international crime fiction with something to say.
