Publisher's Synopsis
Police cases in real life turn out very different from the juicy mysteries that we are used to on the screen and in novels. Or do they? This compilation of real cases will surprise, delight and enthral you, each one as riveting as any top-class crime mystery and yet, replete with humour. Not only that. Coming from the investigation files of an upright police officer who reached the apex of his career both at the state (Director General of Police, Rajasthan) and at the Centre (Director, CBI), the stories invite a glimpse into the way cases are solved. At the same time, we see not only the rational, but also the emotional and personal side of the author as he does his job: the blood, the sweat and the fears. He narrates how politicians try to cage police officers and make them sing to their tune, and how he as an officer had to courageously take a stand. That's what makes these songs of an uncaged parrot specially thrilling and poignant.
