Redemption by Harish Vasudevan

The day begins innocently enough, a cool, breezy morning in Bangalore in the spring of 2007. For seventeen-year-old Shalini Gowda, it's a day for celebration--no more school, friends to go clubbing with, and her favourite adults coming over for dinner later at night. Life couldn't be better.
Which is how her parents, Archana and Raju, feel too, in anticipation of a relaxed evening at home with old friends. Until the phone rings and they hear the panicked voice of Shalini's friend, Tabassum. Something has happened, would they rush to the club? Shalini needs them...
A fast-paced novel that rushes you along on a tide of unpredictable emotions and action, Redemption speaks directly to our worst fears and anxieties.
