Description
In a city that forgets the powerless, two unlikely allies refuse to look away.
Bombay Reckless is a fast-paced political thriller that follows the early, uncertain days of investigative journalist Kabir Joshi and rising political outsider Riya Mehta. Long before the assassinations and betrayals, they were just two young idealists armed with questions no one wanted to answer.
Set against the explosive backdrop of Mumbai’s urban redevelopment wars, their search for the truth begins with a missing family and leads deep into a world of buried records, media silence, and a powerful elite determined to rewrite reality.
As Kabir and Riya dig further, they find themselves tangled in a high-stakes game where truth is dangerous—and silence is survival.
Perfect for fans of political thrillers, South Asian noir, and gritty investigative dramas, Bombay Reckless explores the cost of speaking up in a city that punishes those who dare.

A Gripping Thriller That Hits the Mark
I just finished reading “Bombay Reckless” by Andrew Levine and I’m still buzzing from the experience. This book is a fast-paced, thought-provoking thriller that draws you in from the start. Set against the complex backdrop of Mumbai’s redevelopment battles, it weaves a compelling mystery that feels all too real.
The protagonists, Kabir Joshi and Riya Mehta, are well-crafted heroes who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. The writing is sharp, the atmosphere is vivid, and the whole thing is infused with a sense of urgency that makes it hard to put down.
If you’re a fan of gritty investigative dramas or South Asian noir, then this book is definitely worth checking out. It’s a solid debut that shows a lot of promise – and I’m excited to see what the author does next!

A very enjoyable quick read. I was told about this book by my friend and we both really liked it. I have been to India once and the story descriptions of the city were as I remember. The author wrote a previous book, Death in the Rain, which was also good but was missing how the main characters all knew each other. This books brings you that information. I would recommend this book and Death in the Rain. I hope to see a nice long series with these characters. I’d love that.

Bought the book after reading his first, Death in the Rain. Bombay Reckless did exactly what I wanted and that was to answer a number of unanswered questions from book 1. Levine’s noir style is snappy and fast, like old time dialogue. Loved the repartee between the characters and the new issue was quite entertaining. I hope he continues the series with the same characters going forward into the future.

This is the prequel to the author’s first book, Death in the Rain. Its answers a number of open questions about where and how the protagonist’s met, where they came from and why they got into their current professions.
I hope you enjoy it.
