"A fascinating race against time and a killer to find a long-lost treasure!"
Pirate Vishnu

PIRATE VISHNU goes back and forth between telling the story of Jaya's great-great uncle, Anand, and showing Jaya's present-day hunt for a treasure that Anand hid more than one-hundred years ago. Author Gigi Pandian never reveals too much, but lets us follow along as Jaya searches for clues, interprets them, then uses the information to find the next piece of the puzzle.
Jaya and the other characters are all very much individuals, with different ways of speaking and responding to the situations they face. It makes the world Pandian has created very real, and that ups the suspense, especially when Jaya is unsure whether one of her friends has betrayed her.
PIRATE VISHNU is the second book in the Jaya Jones series. It's not necessary to have read the first book, Artifact, to enjoy this one. I highly recommend PIRATE VISHNU for readers who like contemporary and historical mysteries.
