The Bloom
About this ebook
An Indian architect living in London discovers that the compound in his bloodline, grown by his grandfather in a Kerala backwater, has become the operational foundation of a trafficking network that has moved hundreds of women across South and Southeast Asia. To expose it, he must enter a flooded Rajasthan fort, face the intelligence who built the network, and decide what he is willing to permanently become.
A relentless psychological crime thriller set across Mumbai, Kerala, Nagaland, Myanmar, London, and New York, The Bloom moves at the speed of a chase and the depth of a nightmare — the kind of book that gets under the skin and stays there.
Perfect for readers of Don Winslow, Stieg Larsson, and international crime fiction with something to say.
"A Mumbai architect opens his dead grandfather's envelope — and inhales an empire he can't unknow and can't escape."

About the author
Sagar Pudale is an Indian author, academic, and educator whose writing radiates curiosity, compassion, and a joyful engagement with the human experience. A gold medalist in English Literature from SRTM University, he brings over a decade of teaching to his work, inspiring students in the classroom and readers through his books with the same warmth and clarity.
Sagar writes across spiritual philosophy, literary fiction, and dark romantasy, but his central focus is always on connection—not answers, but shared questions. His stories invite readers to feel less alone, to breathe more easily, and to meet both their wounds and their wonders with kindness. With an eye for beauty in the everyday and a heart for big ideas, he creates work that entertains, uplifts, and quietly transforms.
When he’s not writing or teaching, Sagar loves simple pleasures: morning coffee, long walks, listening to music, and conversations that run late into the night. He lives in Maharashtra, India, where he continues to write with gratitude, laughter, and the belief that storytelling is one of the most joyful ways we can reach out to one another.
