Brutal, a thriller published by Bloody Good Book and Westland Books, is India’s first crowd-curated novel. The author Uday Satpathy takes the reader through a roller-coaster adventure of two journalists who find themselves in danger when they uncover links between a present day massacre and an incident which occurred eight years ago.

When he isn’t scribbling away at his desk, Uday is an information technology expert in the field of Healthcare and Life Sciences. He is also a movie connoisseur, a cricket fanatic, a quizzing enthusiast and a travel freak.

As if that was not enough, he has a special place in his heart for cooking as well.
