The Mine scores as a riveting thriller that will linger in your mind for days, after you finish reading the book.
The plot revolves around five experts who are brought to a hi-tech mining facility sensing strange, unexplainable occurrences. What connects them all is their murky past and a hideous truth that has been long under the wraps. And so begins their perilous journey of confronting their fate and facing their destined end.
This fast-paced, dark psychological thriller is divided in to three sections: The Beginning, The Middle and The End; though the prologue sets the stage for the deep rooted mysteries and fears that surface on each page.
You will find references of real life incidents that made news around the country; the crux of it all is a reflection of our own fears.
The interlinked stories that make up the novel have an overpowering sinister effect. Various characters, various settings and the sly intervening of links that leave room for mixed interpretation and open ended questions, will make you retrace your thoughts and flip back a few pages to gasp in awe and wonder, as the author skillfully spins the web of mystery and thrill.
Given our experience with Hollywood/Bollywood flicks, you will end up visualizing the scenes as you read the story. Karma has its own way of getting back. And you might recollect “Death’s List” from the “Final Destination” series. (And many such references will emerge in your mind if you are a movie buff/avid reader.)
The narratives (and the scenes) are racy and breathtaking. The narrative is fresh and rather intriguing. Philosophical at places, the book shakes you with the insights. A diligent mix of Science and Karma, the suspense and the thrill in the book will give you goose bumps with every new page. And you will not deny that “the greatest evil lies deep inside.” Hide details

The cover image and the name hint at the web of mystery/thriller/crime the author (and the book) have to offer, and when you start reading- all genres gel amazingly well to deliver a brilliant masterpiece!
Imagine being trapped in an underground cave with no flashlight. The pure unadulterated fear that rises with this feeling is what you can expect (and more) when you start reading this fabulous work of fiction.

From the philosophical takes to the psycho-thriller scenes, Arnab Ray proves his mettle once again. The five “experts”, with their own murky past, embark on a perilous journey.
The unconventional portrayal of the ties and bonds of society to the dark side of humanity, this book is more of a mind game that stays with you even after you are done reading.
This fast paced read keeps you guessing for most part and leaves you in awe of the author’s narrative skill when you reach the mind-blowing climax.

The writing style of Arnab shows great maturity. The detailing, the vision, the ideation and the dialogue- are all very well scripted and presented. Come to think of it, many open ended questions (that are bound to arise in your mind too) are left for the reader’s interpretation.
The thrill and suspense in this book are definitely not for the week hearted. The line in the book synopsis rings and stays true - “The greatest evil lies deep inside.” Read and discover for yourself.
Highly Recommended. Hide details
