Overview
Some men watch a broken city and look away. Samar Sethi keeps score.
At forty-two, he runs one of the country's largest railway maintenance companies. He is disciplined, wealthy, and certain - certain that the engineers abandoning skilled trades for franchise counters are a symptom, that the social media celebrities filling the space left by competence are a symptom, that a society which has stopped believing in consequences is dying one ignored rule at a time.
By night, Samar does something about it.
What he calls the game is a series of precisely planned sniper killings. The victims are not random. They are corrections. The police are baffled. Nobody has found a pattern because nobody has understood the logic.
Nobody except IPS officer Vikram Nair - who is spending his evenings at Samar's dinner table, because Samar's wife Ananya has been his closest friend since childhood.
Then Rocket Chaiwala arrives. A former slum boy turned social media celebrity and chai franchise entrepreneur, Rocket is everything Samar despises - charisma mistaken for substance, visibility mistaken for value. As Rocket's influence grows, Samar's contempt becomes obsession. And obsession, in a man this precise, becomes a plan.
The Richman's Game is a literary psychological thriller narrated entirely by Samar - in a voice of cold, disciplined intelligence that the novel quietly and relentlessly dismantles.
Rules exist. Consequences do not. Until they do.
