In a low-income neighbourhood of Delhi, the Anand family’s hopes rest on the elder son, Atul, who has accepted a lucrative job in Bangkok. However, days after his departure, Atul disappears-caught in a brutal cyber scam hub operating out of Cambodia. As the family grapples with Atul’s disappearance, its dynamics are tested. Then, the younger son Aseem-wayward, with a history of half-baked plans and ongoing financial demands-takes matters into his own hands.

Armed with nothing but desperation and a reckless plan, Aseem dives into a deadly world of exploitation and crime. To save his brother, he’ll have to risk everything-including his own life. Can he pull it off?

From the creator of the much-acclaimed web series Grahan, Press 9 for a Crime is a heart-stopping, gripping story of sacrifice, deception, redemption and the power of family in the face of impossible and overwhelming odds.

 

Review

Fast, fierce and frighteningly believable. This is the kind of thriller that keeps you turning pages-and then keeps you up at night thinking about the world we live in - Imtiaz Ali, film-maker

Some books entertain and some scare you. This one does both-and leaves you checking if your camera is still on. It’s funny, sharp and just real enough to make you nervous-this book knows exactly where today’s scams hit hardest - Divya Prakash Dubey, author and screenwriter

Tense, timely and terrifying, Shailendra Jha delivers a modern crime classic with a beating human heart. This is a fearless, fast-paced story that grips you from page one. Press 9 for a Crime is fiction rooted in frightening reality - Satya Vyas, author

A dreadfully real account of a crime which is also a cautionary tale in this digitally dependent world of ours. The power of Jha’s writing lies in his penchant for mundane but important details and in his ease with language. Press 9 for a Crime is not just that unputdownable racy crime novel you will safely tuck away in your bookshelf, it’s a book you will share with friends and family, who need to be aware of just how vulnerable we all are - Anu Singh Choudhary, writer and film-maker
