With Or Without You
by Partha Sarathi Basu

I want to play a game with you.

A game

Yes. Hope I can trust you.

Of course.

She handed over a small envelope and said, Open this the day I tell you to. And if you open it earlier, I will come to know about it.

What is in it

A time bomb.

Aarav will do anything to get to the top of his organization. He will betray his colleagues; submit incorrect reports; sleep with the sexy and crafty Sonali; even abandon his disapproving wife in the middle of a romantic trip to London. Sonali uses his ambitious streak, promising to take him right to where he wants to be, if he does what she says.

In his mad scramble to the top, does Aarav know what he is getting into.

Is it as rosy up there as he imagined.

What is Sonali's real game.

With or without You is for all those who have struggled to keep their jobs from ruining their lives.

The Last Testament
by Sam Bourne

April 2003: an Iraqi boy loots an ancient clay tablet from a long-forgotten vault in the Baghdad Museum of Antiquities.

Years later, at a rally for the signing of a historic deal between Israel and the Palestinians, a suspected assassin pushes through the crowd toward the Israeli prime minister. Bodyguards shoot the man dead. But in his hand there is no gun-only a blood-stained note.

A series of seemingly random revenge killings follows and tensions boil over. Washington calls in star peace-negotiator Maggie Costello. With her relationship in trouble and old sins to atone for, Maggie finds herself in an impossible situation, especially when she discovers the murders are not random. Someone is killing archaeologists and historians-those who know the buried secrets of the ancient past.

Menaced on all sides by violent extremists, Costello is plunged into a mystery rooted in the last unsolved riddle of the Bible. The truth could end hostilities-or spark the war to end all wars.
