Camera On His Shoulder

Litlinks by HSD Ascent is proud to present Jasveer Dangi’s 15th book, Camera on His Shoulder!!!

Private investigator Pat Shah has spent years chasing the shadows of other people’s secrets across India-solving cases from Bombay’s piers to the back alleys of old Delhi. The voice that tells his story seems detached, precise… almost mechanical. Someone-or something-has always been watching him, describing his every move like a recording of his life.

Spanning mist-shrouded coastlines, rugged hills, and the quiet alleys of memory, Camera on His Shoulder is a meditation on loyalty, perception, and the stories we fail to see until it’s too late. Told through the eyes of a first-person “witness,” this novel reveals how even a silent observer can harbour a beating heart-and how bravery comes in small packages.

In this neo-noir odyssey set in 1980s India, perception bleeds into betrayal. As Shah unravels a labyrinth of forgeries, smuggling rings, and false identities trailing a missing woman’s cryptic path, the watcher’s gaze proves pivotal in piercing the mystery.
