Book excerpt: "Euphoric Vendetta" starts with the clandestine retaliation that has driven Shilpa Sen to join the Police Service. The childhood traumas that encompass a range of distressing incidents caused by violence and abuse tangled in a labyrinth of fear and doubt weave the tapestry of Shilpa's life that invigorated her dedication and determination for the relentless pursuit of justice amidst the unforgiving terrain of crime and corruption where the characters like Riya and Triparna are victims. On one level, it is a story about revenge, about a family distorted by the victim of child abuse that creates a web of deceit and depravity stretching far beyond the confines of a smooth and sound life. On the other hand, Inspector Shilpa Sen felt the weight of responsibility that was pressing down upon her shoulders. This was the responsibility to seek justice for those who suffer in silence, a responsibility to fulfil the unwavering commitment to truth and justice. The story also delves deep into the complexities of human mind that is like an ocean dealing with high tides and low tides. The emotional traumas are like the high tides creating a turbulence amidst the smooth flow of life when human mind loses its control and falls prey to destruction and manipulation. Out of an intricate web of memories and flashbacks along with the relationships and characters that can be identified with the day -to-day victims like Riya , Kajari Guha builds a story that thrills and chills even the most cynical reader.
