The Murder Emblem is the story of Elizabeth Williams, a young girl in her early twenties, who is a diligent prize-winning rookie journalist and has just moved to New York. She is quite introverted and nervous when it comes to social interactions. But when a failing news channel recognizes her abilities in written journalism, the director gives her the job of collecting crime-related news to bring the ratings back up. Her past is a mixture of optimistic and dark moments. Orphaned and alone, she somehow shaped her personality the way it is. But her existence and motives are governed by the events linked to the shadiness of her past. In recent times, vindictive serial murders occur and after each murder, the killer leaves a burning symbol of a crown in the most tantalizing way near the victim. The underlying mystery to these occurrences is beyond the police departments as well as Interpol and the CIA. There is a possibility of a dangerous mastermind syndicate growing and conquering in the shadows with deadly intentions and no one knows the reality of its existence. No one can be trusted. Where robust law organizations were incapable of uncovering the mystery, Elizabeth Williams is the last person ever who could do that. But what if the biggest impossibility is explored in reality? What if she is placed on the same road where the police and Interpol had failed? Will she get her answer? Will she uncover the underlying mystery of the crimes? Will she survive?

In the middle of the ground, amidst urban infrastructure and a sprawling slum, lie the bodies of 14 men. One, in particular, draws Inspector Mohit Sawant’s attention – one that has had its face and hands brutally smashed by a huge rock. The only lead and eyewitness is Nitesh, found with bloody hands, sobbing beside the disfigured body. It all began when two boys, Nitesh and Vatsal, sat on abandoned railway tracks and decided that they wanted to leave their slum life behind. While Vatsal wanted to do it by pursuing his passion for dance and making a living the right way, Nitesh wanted to do it quickly. His only option was to help the local gangster Harish and join his organization. With his wit and his decisions, Nitesh rose within the gang, but also made new enemies who wanted to ensure that he is imprisoned and stayed behind bars. Amidst the pressure from his superiors and political influencers, can Inspector Sawant get to the bottom of the case and unveil the true motive of the crimes? Can Nitesh keep his secrets hidden and lie his way to freedom? Or will powers beyond their control award a final binding verdict?

This book presents a comprehensive legal and constitutional study of emergency powers from a comparative common law perspective. It is one of very few comparative studies on three jurisdictions and arguably the first one to explore in detail various emergency powers, statutory and common law, constitutional and statutory law, martial law and military acting-in-aid of civil authority, wartime and peacetime invocations, and several related and vital themes like judicial review of emergency powers (existence, scope and degree). The three jurisdictions compared here are: the pure implied common law model (employed by the UK), implied constitutional model (employed by the USA) and the explicit constitutional model (employed by India). The book’s content has important implications, as these three jurisdictions collectively cover the largest population within the common law world, and also provide maximum representative diversity. The book covers the various positions on external emergencies as opposed to internal emergencies, economic/financial emergencies, and emergent inroads being made into state autonomy by the central or federal governments, through use of powers like Article 356 of the Indian Constitution. By providing a detailed examination of the law and practice of emergency powers, the book shares a wealth of valuable insights. Specific sub-chapters address questions like – what is the true meaning of ‘martial law’; who can invoke ‘martial law’; when can it be invoked and suspended; what happens when the military is called in to aid civilian authorities; can martial law be deemed to exist or coexist when this happens; what are the limits on state powers when an economic emergency is declared; and, above all, can, and if so, when and how should courts judicially review emergency powers? These and several other questions are asked and answered in this study. Though several checks and constraints have been devised regarding the scope and extent of ‘emergency powers,’ these powers are still prone to misuse, as all vast powers are. A study of the legal propositions on this subject, especially from a comparative perspective, is valuable for any body politic that aspires to practice democracy, while also allowing constitutionally controlled aberrations to protect that democracy.
Preity had everything she ever wanted: a successful career, a beautiful home, and, most importantly, Aadi - the artist who filled her life with colors and passion. They were madly in love, and nothing could separate them. Or so she thought. One day, Aadi disappeared without a trace, leaving Preity shattered and alone. She had no idea what happened to him or why he left her. Was he in danger? Did he have a secret? Did he stop loving her? Preity embarked on a desperate quest to find Aadi and to find the answers to her questions. Along the way, she discovered more about herself, her love, and the art that connected them. This is a story of love, loss, and longing. A story of a girl who loved an artist, and an artist who was art.
