How does Amit navigate between his many professional challenges and conquer his demons? What does he do when the ganglord comes after his family? Bihar Diaries captures vividly the battle of nerves between a dreaded outlaw and a young, urbane IPS officer.

It's a light, OK read. Paced well. Author is anything but a seasoned writer and that shows, in a nice way. At times it does feel like old diary entries. That's not bad.
Constant turn offs were the mild to explicit adulations throughout the book. Felt more like forced insertions.
Nothing noteworthy though.
