Maxine Rosen, a demure, clumsy, Chicago caterer gets more than she bargains for when she discovers her father’s coded research document linked to health pills unearthed from the ancient Indus Valley civilization. The pills, she learns, carry frightening secrets about the true nature of her father’s death; a truth that may be more than she can bear. Enlisting the help of handsome professor Julian McIntosh, Max travels across the continents to unlock the mystery of her father’s research, struggling to keep one step ahead of a powerful German pharmaceutical company who will stop at nothing to keep the disturbing document under wraps.

About the Author:
Ranjini Iyer was born in Germany and grew up in India. She trained as an engineer purely because she hero worshipped her PhD holding dad. She then got herself an MBA in the U.S and stayed on.
Even as she pursued careers as a business owner, small business consultant, film producer and non profit managing director, there always remained an urge to write that had been there since childhood.
Following the birth of her children, she focused more and more on writing. Eventually, some of it became passably good.
The Colossus is her first (well...published) novel.

"Complicated adventure tale...often imaginative novel with a well-concealed surprise ending." Kirkus Reviews
"It's hard not to enjoy the main character, Max, in Ranjini Iyer's fantastic novel...the story is fast-paced and features a refreshing blend of mystery, suspense, history, science, and a dash of romance. The surprise ending makes this novel even more memorable. Well-written and with an interesting plot, The Colossus is worth giving a go." San Francisco Book Review.
"The Colossus, is a thoughtful adventure into the world of pharmaceuticals, corruption, greed, love, and everything else in human nature. Iyer presses the reader to think in shades of more than just black and white and realize that human nature can be understood as a blessing or a curse– it just depends on how one thinks about it. As with all humans, Max vacillates between pride and shame, love and hate, courage and fear, but what really matters is how Max forgives those around her, especially those that she trusts the most. Iyer’s careful research and attention to detail make The Colossus an unforgettable read." Red City Review
