The founder of Chennai’s global restaurant chain, Saravana Bhavan – P. Rajagopal – was regarded as an extraordinary man with a rare entrepreneurial mind that took his brand places. While his business soared, it was his personal life that left people in shock. Already married to two women, it was his relentless pursuit of a third that led to him being convicted for murder in 2001. Murder on the Menu tracks the 18-year-long court trial that followed his arrest, ultimately culminating in a life sentence for Rajagopal in 2019. A gripping true crime thriller, the book traces Rajagopal’s rise to fame and then criminal infamy, meticulously following the murder investigation through eight districts of Tamil Nadu and the courtroom proceedings of the case.
Published by Juggernaut Books, Murder on the Menu is an astonishing page-turner from start to finish.
