In the Shadow of Death is a retired CID chief's quest to understand the psyche of death row prisoners. In this chilling account, D. V. Guruprasad delves deep into the world of crime to uncover who these convicts are and how they view the charges against them. In India, capital punishment is awarded only in the 'rarest of rare' cases; the gruesome murders covered in this book will convince you that they fit the description. Criminals featured in this book are as varied as they can come and so are their crimes: a serial killer who targeted young women, a savage gang that terrorized a metropolis, a runaway woman who took to murder as an easy way to survive, a constable with a deadly fetish As these prisoners stare death in the face, do they experience the crippling "death row syndrome"? Do they fear the impending execution and the uncertainty about their final day on earth? Do they regret their past deeds? There's also the view from the other end of the ropea peek into a hangman's typical preparations before a hangingmaking this a gripping read.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. In this book, the author recounts his interesting experience with many Chief Ministers of Karnataka whom he served as Head of the State CID and State Intelligence Wing for a long period. Apart from exposing the unwarranted roles played by many political leaders purely in their self-interest, Dr Guruprasad throws light on how the Congress-JD(S) coalition government fell paving way to the JD(S)-BJP government in 2006. He has also recounted his experiences of dealing with VIP Security. Corridors of Intelligence: Revealing Politics is a timely offering by Guruprasad on the vital role played by State Intelligence department in ensuring public safety and security at all times. The task of a State Intelligence Chief is certainly not one of envy, it is tough, hard and unending. It relies on several professional and personal qualities, ability to create networks across the spectrum, to be able to reasonably predict threats and challenges to public safety and security and above all ensure stability. The book attests to all above. PM Heblikar, Special Secretary (Retd), Cabinet Secretariat (R&AW) Was Intelligence failure responsible for the fall of the first coalition government in Karnataka in 2006? No, says DV Guruprasad, the Chief of Intelligence who served that government. He vividly details the factors that made the government between disparate partners shaky from its very beginnings, apart from mentioning how exactly such a government came to be made in the very first place. Narrated in a very objective manner with a simple and lucid style, this book gives pen portraits of many national and international leaders whom the author keenly observed. The book should interest anyone who loves history and politics and should be a pointer to the current coalition government of Karnataka formed by the same Congress and JD(S) parties once again.
