About the Book
Age of Vice
This is the age of vice, where money, pleasure, and power are everything, and the family ties that bind can also kill.
New Delhi, 3 a.m. A speeding Mercedes jumps the curb and in the blink of an eye, five people are dead. It’s a rich man’s car, but when the dust settles there is no rich man at all, just a shell-shocked servant who cannot explain the strange series of events that led to this crime. Nor can he foresee the dark drama that is about to unfold.
Deftly shifting through time and perspective in contemporary India, Age of Vice is an epic, action-packed story propelled by the seductive wealth, startling corruption, and bloodthirsty violence of the Wadia family — loved by some, loathed by others, feared by all.
In the shadow of lavish estates, extravagant parties, predatory business deals and calculated political influence, three lives become dangerously intertwined: Ajay is the watchful servant, born into poverty, who rises through the family’s ranks. Sunny is the playboy heir who dreams of outshining his father, whatever the cost. And Neda is the curious journalist caught between morality and desire. Against a sweeping plot fueled by loss, pleasure, greed, yearning, violence and revenge, will these characters’ connections become a path to escape, or a trigger of further destruction?
Equal parts crime thriller and family saga, transporting readers from the dusty villages of Uttar Pradesh to the urban energy of New Delhi, Age of Vice is an intoxicating novel of gangsters and lovers, false friendships, forbidden romance, and the consequences of corruption. It is binge-worthy entertainment at its literary best.

In the shadow of lavish farmhouses, drug-filled parties, rapacious business deals and predatory political play, three lives become dangerously intertwined: Ajay is the watchful servant, born into poverty, who rises through the family’s ranks. Sunny is the dilettante heir who dreams of outshining his father but doesn’t have his ruthlessness to succeed. And Neda is the curious journalist caught between morality and desire.
Transporting readers from the dusty and violent towns of Uttar Pradesh to the corrosive, glittering energy of New Delhi, Age of Vice is the great novel about power, corruption, and the ways it works in India today. This is binge-worthy entertainment at its literary best.
About the Author
Deepti Kapoor
a few words
Deepti Kapoor is an Indian author known for her work in contemporary fiction. Born in 1973, she grew up in the northern part of India and later studied economics at the University of Delhi. Kapoor's writing often explores themes of identity, social issues, and the human condition, providing readers with a glimpse into the complexities of modern Indian society.
Deepti Kapoor gained recognition with her debut novel, "A Bad Character," which was published in 2014. The novel is set in contemporary Delhi and revolves around a young woman's journey of self-discovery and rebellion against societal norms. The protagonist, Idha, navigates the chaotic and dynamic landscape of the city, grappling with desire, freedom, and the constraints imposed by a traditional society.
Kapoor's writing is noted for its evocative prose and keen observations of the human psyche. Through her characters and narratives, she delves into the nuances of relationships, the clash between tradition and modernity, and the challenges faced by individuals in navigating a rapidly changing world.
While "A Bad Character" brought Kapoor critical acclaim, it also sparked discussions about the representation of women in contemporary Indian literature. Her work has been praised for its bold exploration of female desire and its unapologetic portrayal of a woman's journey to assert her autonomy in a conservative society.
It's worth noting that there may have been further developments in Deepti Kapoor's career or new works since my last update in January 2022. For the latest information on Deepti Kapoor and her literary contributions, I recommend checking more recent sources or her official website.
