Author Sandeepika’s first audio book ‘Adipatta Puli’ is set in Coimbatore

The crime thriller recalls the twin bomb blasts that shook Coimbatore in 1998

A crime thriller that recalls the twin bomb blasts of Coimbatore in 1998 forms the narrative in author Sandeepika’s Adipatta Puli, written exclusively for audio in Tamil. It is now available on Storytel and is narrated by Saki.

“It is my first attempt in crime and also an audio story format,” says author C V Varadarajan who writes under the pen name Sandeepika. The 66-year-old author, who did his engineering at Government College of Technology in Coimbatore, says it was an opportunity to revisit his college days spent in the city and come up with a storyline based on the bombings.
