By Srinu Pandranki

The peace and sanity of Palo Alto, the university town of Santa Clara County, California, with its quiet tree-lined vistas and shady boulevards, is disturbed when three violent murders rock this otherwise low-crime city of mixed-culture and nativity. Angelina, a young Stanford Student is found dead in her apartment. Gayatri Prasad, an India- born immigrant and mother, has been pushed off her balcony, dead on impact with the pavement many stories below. Anne Martin, the beautiful tourist from France has been brutally raped and murdered in her relative's bedroom. Are the murders related? Shreya Dutt, the tough young homicide detective of Indian Origin, teams up with Kevin Holmes - a formerly active Homicide Detective living an uneventful life as the overseer of Police Archives, with an unresolved past that still haunts the corners of his mind. The murders pull him out of his peaceful existence, back into the game. Together with the fiery Shreya Dutt, he strives to solve the mystery surrounding the crimes; a quest that takes them from the grand locales of Palo Alto to Chinatown and to the grimy streets of East Palo Alto, in search of the seemingly elusive.Fast-paced and emotionally charged, X Square is a novel about love, hate, deceit and the darkness of the fickle human mind.
