About the Book

Written by Abhinav Bhatnagar, Shut Eye is an exceptionally powerful, fast-paced psychological thriller and crime mystery that delves deep into the fragile architecture of trauma, mental health, and institutional corruption. The plot follows Aadil, a socially introverted and emotionally fractured forensic photographer plagued by severe, terrifying bouts of sleep paralysis. Newly released from a medical asylum and haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his family years ago, Aadil returns to his hometown to piece his life together. Securing a job with the police department through his friend Umesh, Aadil is immediately thrust into the dark, overlapping paths of crime scene photography. When he discovers familiar signs and traumatic links to his own lost family at new crime scenes, he finds himself trapped in a colossal, high-stakes diplomatic conspiracy orchestrated by a shadowy figure known as 'The Pilot'. Refusing to romanticize personal suffering, the author masterfully positions Aadil's physical vulnerability against the rotting bureaucracy of the world around him. Pepper Books guarantees pristine, undamaged physical paperbacks protected with moisture-resistant covers to shield the corner points perfectly throughout transit.
