About The Book

The Ekkos Clan by Sudipto Das is a thrilling blend of history, mystery, and adventure. The novel follows Kratu, a graduate student at Stanford, whose family becomes the target of a deadly conspiracy. Someone wants his entire family dead, but is it personal revenge or something far more dangerous? The catalyst for the danger is the family’s connection to Kratu’s grandmother, Kubha, whose ancient stories hold perilous secrets.

The eventful lives of Kubha and her family span over a hundred years, encompassing the most turbulent periods of Indian history. Kratu mentions Kubha’s stories in a casual conversation with Afsar Fareedi, a linguistic palaeontologist, who quickly uncovers that these seemingly innocent bedtime tales are rich with linguistic fossils and layers of history.

Driven by curiosity, Kratu, Afsar, and his best friend Tista set out on a global journey to trace the origin of Kubha’s tales. Their quest leads them to discover one of the world’s oldest civilizations, but they also uncover the dark forces behind a series of murders. As they dig deeper, they must confront whether the pursuit of these stories is linked to the deadly threats against Kratu’s family.

The Ekkos Clan is a captivating debut novel that masterfully intertwines historical intrigue with an intense, fast-paced narrative. Sudipto Das takes readers on a journey that spans continents and uncovers the hidden secrets of the past, while weaving a modern-day tale of suspense and danger.
