About the Book A GRIPPING BIOGRAPHY OF A BUSINESS TYCOON A gripping biography of R.K. Dalmia, the most flamboyant business tycoon that India has produced in the last century. Like a meteor, he flashed across the firmament in a blaze of glory before being reduced to the ashes of ignominy in a prison, convicted of fraud. An odd mixture of puritanism and profligacy, and a sadist who tortured his family of six wives and eighteen children, he broke all the laws of God and man. About the Author Neelima Dalmia Adhar was educated in a convent school and a reputed college in Delhi and has a Master's in Psychology with a specialisation in 'Personality.' Her first and only job was to teach Psychology to undergraduate students at Delhi University. A passionate 'people-watcher', she is drawn to oddities and thrives on writing about personalities and human behaviour, from the quirky to the mysterious to the bizarre, a subject she does chillingly close to the bone. She lives in Delhi with her husband, children and two grandchildren.
