Alfred Hitchcock once told his biographer Edwin Mosley that, “In an absorbing thriller, a sanguinary and singular assumption is the key.” Troy Rebeiro has followed the Hitchcockian mantra in toto. Assuming Samina is murdered, the novel commences with her Kolkata-based dad Abdul Rehman searching for his daughter’s killer.

‘The ingrained simultaneous curiosity’ (TISC) eggs the readers on to feel curious as to why Samina wrote to her father that if anything untoward happens to her, he must hold a tourist guide Irfan Patel responsible for her death. Mind you, this is not a diversion, but integral to the whole mystery.

As I’ve already stated, there’s no redundancy in Troy’s Samina. His thriller has an uncanny quality to involve, invoke and immerse his readers. On the flip side, bringing in honour killing is something that could have been averted. Agreed, it’s very much inveterate in Indian psyche and society, but to cater to an international crowd and audience, a rooted shibboleth or a trend needs to be ignored. Thankfully, Troy hasn’t dwelt upon it.

The author deserves a pat from the thriller-exponents John Grisham, Lee Child and John Le Carre. To encapsulate, Samina will be loved by those who love to get goosebumps while reading and watching a thriller. Apropos, the Arabic word Samina generally connotes ‘generous’, ‘precious’, ‘fertile’, ‘a healthy girl’, etc. But, according to Abu Uzma’s old and early Arabic lexicon, Lughat-e-Baharaan, written in the 10th century, Samina also means ‘a mysterious woman’. I’m looking forward to watching the suspense-drama on the celluloid. So are the readers, I can bet.
