Bihar Diaries: The True Story of How Bihar's Most Dangerous Criminal Was Caught Review A gripping cat-and-mouse tale. Visceral and engaging, this is a real-life cop drama you won't put down! (Emraan Hashmi)It's more than just a thrilling cop story. Best read at one go. (Ronnie Screwvala)India has had very few tales of valour and heroism that are both real and inspirational. Bihar Diaries is one such tale about a top cop who takes his work seriously and the cause of national service even more so. The book is anecdotal to the point of being refreshing and leaves the reader with insights that only someone at the front lines can capture. Amit's style of writing and the way he weaves the storyline reminds one of those fine thriller writers who can leave you at the edge of your bed whilst you savour their tale (Suhel Seth) 				    	 					 About the Author Amit Lodha is an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer presently holding the rank of inspector general (IG) of police.
