The story of Delhi, told through the eyes of the journalists who frame it, the policemen who protect it, and the outsiders who try to claim it.
When Abhishek Dutta joins the Express as a trainee journalist, he has no idea how his life is about to change. Assigned to the crime beat by Chief Reporter Amir Akhtar, Abhishek encounters a motley cast of characters in the press and police DCP Uday Kumar, the Dirty Harry of Delhi Police who has a penchant for shooting first and asking questions later; ACP Crime Branch Mayank Sharma, who becomes a close friend; Samir Saxena, channel head of News Today, who mentors Abhishek s move from print to electronic journalism; and dreaded gangster Babloo Shankar, who runs the Delhi mafia even though he is in exile. As he rides his beginner s luck to unearth one sensational scoop after the other, Abhishek will soon discover that in the dog-eat-dog world of crime and politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies it is every man for himself.
With a plot that twists and turns like the inner lanes of the city, Somnath Batabyal s debut novel takes you into the dark underbelly of an emerging superpower s capital city, where common lives are mere pawns in deadly power games and where corruption lies at the very core.

[Full disclosure: Somnath is a friend]The Price You Pay is Somnath Batabyal's first novel, a racing story of cops and robbers and journalists set in Delhi. It never lets up for a second, and despite the confusingly huge array of characters, I was enrapt the entire book. This was mainly due to the strong characters - not often found in books about the press and police.
Our novice journalist and hero, Abhishek, is smart enough to keep just barely ahead of the game, and naive enough to let the reader be him through all the twists and turns. It does feel like everything and the kitchen sink gets thown at him (his career is a shooting star), and if it's a Delhi sink, then you might guess how twisted and graphic that might be.
The city is another fabulous character in the book, and I felt I got a real sense of the ins and outs of the bureaucracy and bravery that's required to survive that mad place. Highly recommended if you feel like a super fun fast gritty blow through contemporary Delhi.

Nice book on the inside life of journalists. Could have been a bit faster.
