Camera On His Shoulder

Description

One phone call. One missing truth. One chase across 1980s India.

Private investigator Pat Shah has spent years chasing the shadows of other people’s secrets across India-solving cases from Bombay’s piers to the back alleys of old Delhi. The voice that tells his story seems detached, precise… almost mechanical. Someone-or something-has always been watching him, describing his every move like a recording of his life.

Spanning mist-shrouded coastlines, rugged hills, and the quiet alleys of memory, Camera on His Shoulder is a meditation on loyalty, perception, and the stories we fail to see until it’s too late. Told through the eyes of a first-person “witness,” this novel reveals how even a silent observer can harbour a beating heart-and how bravery comes in small packages.

In this neo-noir odyssey set in 1980s India, perception bleeds into betrayal. As Shah unravels a labyrinth of forgeries, smuggling rings, and false identities trailing a missing woman’s cryptic path, the watcher’s gaze proves pivotal in piercing the mystery.

About the Author
Dangi, Jasveer Singh: – Jasveer Singh Dangi is a contemporary author whose voice is shaped by Indian roots and global experiences. His family often describes him as an “accidental author,” as his journey from private journaling to multi-genre storytelling has been organic, unexpected, and deeply personal. He began writing in 2018, transforming a 200,000-word childhood journal into his debut memoir, Version One and a Half (Version 1 1/2). He lacked formal training or a voracious reading habit; instead, his notebook of memories became the foundation of his literary path-encouraged by his late friend, author Chetan Singh (RIP). Since 2018, he has authored 14 books and co-authored 2 anthologies, showcasing his versatility across various genres.
