The Diary of a

sloppy sleuth

1

Alpha

Beta

Gamma

A young physicist joins MI6 in uncovering a weaponless murder and a deadly espionage plot rooted in real science and global conspiracies.

2

Chain

Reaction

A fatal fall leads to Nazi secrets, nuclear science, and a present-day conspiracy that forces the sleuthing trio into history’s darkest shadows.

3

The

Loch

Paradox

In the mist of the Scottish Highlands, grief, betrayal, and Russian espionage collide as monsters of power prove deadlier than legends of the deep.

4

The

Scuttled

Enigma

A sunken Nazi freighter, a vanished spy, and a code that should’ve stayed buried drag the sleuthing trio into a race against history—and a conspiracy rising from the deep.

Meet the Minds Behind the Madness

Srija Ray

She loses umbrellas, forgets names, and couldn’t chase down a criminal if her life depended on it. But hand her a radioactive isotope, a cryptic equation, or a political cover-up? She’ll solve it by breakfast. A physics student from India with a stubborn streak and a sharp mind, Sri never meant to get involved in espionage — until the first body dropped. Now, her diary holds the details no one else dares to write down.

Neil Basu

MI6 agent. Half-Scottish, half-Indian. All confidence. Neil doesn’t ask questions — he interrogates. His calm exterior hides a relentless mind trained to detect deception and stay ten moves ahead. He’s used to calling the shots, until he collides with a physicist who questions everything, including him. Whether he's chasing shadows or protecting allies, Neil always plays the long game — and keeps his real thoughts classified.

Matthew Holmes

Private investigator by trade. Professional observer by nature. Matthew Holmes (aka Matt) prefers files to people and facts to speculation — unless, of course, the people live in his flat and keep stumbling into murder plots. With a camera in one hand and a theory in the other, Matt rarely says more than he has to. But when it comes to keeping the trio grounded, his silence speaks volumes.

The Other Sleuth

Malabika Ray

Balancing life as a physicist and researcher by day, and a thriller writer by night, she crafts fast-paced, cerebral stories rooted in scientific realism and global intrigue. With experience living across four countries, her writing reflects a fascination with culture, complexity, and the unseen forces shaping our world. What began as a creative experiment is now an evolving passion—one she’s pursuing with curiosity, discipline, and just the right dose of chaos.
