The Missed Beat

Everyone knew Dr. Raj Kumar, the eminent cardiologist and the founder of Get Well Hospitals. But no one knew about a dark secret he nurtured within.

And then one day, his precious daughter Dr. Sheela, gets kidnapped! Hell breaks loose as a free fall of skeletons from the past start haunting him. In this roller coaster ride can he overcome the deadly combination of the present and the future?

Yet another hard ‘heart-hitter’ from G V Subba Rao. A tale of inconceivable, sinister sequence of events with a headlong rush of excitement.

A post graduate with an MPhil in English Literature, Subba Rao hails from a family that's deeply steeped in music and the arts. His father, Gollapudi Maruthi Rao, is a well-known Telugu author, award-winning playwright and screenplay writer, as well as a film actor of repute. His grandfather, Padma Bhushan Dr. Sripada Pinnakapani, was a doyen of Carnatic music. Rao is also Managing Trustee of the 'Gollapudi Srinivas Memorial Foundation' instituted in memory of his brother Gollapudi Srinivas. This foundation confers the annual 'Gollapudi Srinivas National Award' for the 'Best Debut Director' in India and has been doing so for the past twenty-one years. It is no surprise that this businessman and avid traveller turned to writing, penning travelogues for newspapers and magazines. His articles have been published in the Deccan Chronicle, The Hans India and the Ashvarttha, a wellness magazine. After his successful debut novel, No Murder Tonight, an edge-of-the-seat thriller, Rao has penned his second novel

The Missed Beat, a fast-paced drama based on incredible real-life events. For feedback and conversation with Rao, you can email him at subbaraogv1962@gmail.com.
