About the Book

A GRIPPING MYSTERY ABOUT A SHOCKING SECRET NESTLED IN THE IDYLLS OF A LUXURIOUS GATED COMMUNITY, NO TRESPASSING HOOKS YOU FROM THE START AND KEEPS YOU TILL THE END.
Fantasia is the dream for many: an ultra-luxury gated community with its own private forest, a lake and a golf course. Moving here is by invitation only. Vedika and her family enter this idyll, and eager to shrug off her middle-class upbringing, she quickly seeks out the company of her elite neighbours. But something seems to be affecting her son, Sajan. He seems confused and unresponsive and a few other kids in the neighbourhood also appear to be under some sort of trance.
And then, right before a doctor s appointment, Sajan dies in a freak accident.
Numbed by grief at first, Vedika is jolted back into reality by a cold revelation: her boy was murdered. Anxious to find out what exactly happened to her son, she begins investigating his death. But as she delves deeper into her neighbours lives and her own memories, disturbing links between Fantasia and her past begin to emerge. Gripping and tense, No Trespassing is a disquieting work that peels back the glossy layers of such urban dwellings.

About the Author

For many years, Brinda S. Narayan has lived in gated spaces. It s a convenient life for people from the middle and upper-middle class for one thing, you get a 24-by-7 supply of power and water, access to a host of amenities like a pool and a badminton court and one also feels like they belong to a community, which shields them from the alienation that many city-dwellers experience.
As a writer, though, one always wrestles with disquiet about one s own life, and then the mind starts wandering into what-if terrains. When you are part of a residents group that s griping about a plumbing or electrical problem, the imagination starts dwelling on scenarios that might be much worse. No Trespassing is the culmination of a mind meandering beyond the confines of a gated complex.
