Political thrillers are a dime a dozen in the West. But while India lags light years behind in this genre of fiction, author Seema Goswami's new book "Race Course Road" has certainly made a beginning.

The novel, which opens with the assassination of a sitting prime minister and revolves around the power struggle that follows, draws its strength from its well presented characters.

So what is the story about?
But, wait, their step-sister Asha Devi, whom both the brothers love to hate, is back from London. Will she ruin Karan's plan of becoming the next prime minister?
