The story starts on an interesting note, which put me on the
grip to read the book. The Bankster is an interesting thriller based on the
illegitimate activities which takes place in this present world. The story mainly revolves around the banking
sector. It starts on an interesting note, with the trading of blood diamonds in
Angola and slowly moves on to an international bank in Mumbai. Suddenly, the
readers are led to Kerala in southern India, where an elderly man is leading a
protest against the Trikakulam Nuclear Power Project. He had lost his son and
daughter –in-law during the Chernobyl disaster. The story slowly trails off to
the Greater Boston Global Bank(GB2), where a series of baffling murder of the
key employees takes place in Mumbai.
On the other side, Karan Panjabi, a press reporter and a
former employee of GB2, inspects the case, and stumbles upon a drastic
worldwide conspiracy. He is left with only 36 hours to unravel the grappling
mystery behind it!
The story gradually progresses at a good speed, and the
thrilling plot makes the book not to keep it down without reading the same. The author takes the reader on a thrilling
ride to Angola, Kerala, Mumbai, Vienna and Tel-Aviv.
Ravi Subramanian, the eminent author who has written this great novel in a very stylish and thrilling way made its
plots the way John Grisham tells in his story through which he emerges as a
master story teller. The author of many
successful novels who has made a mark in fiction writing has given yet another
block buster through his thriller novel The Bankster.
Ravi Subramanian, winner of the 2008 Golden
Quill Readers’ Choice Award for his famous novel ‘If God was a Banker’ presents
his debut financial sector novel The Bankster in his own great style, which is highly
commendable indeed.
