The Loch Paradox
(2025)(The third book in the Diary of a Sloppy Sleuth series)
A novel by Malabika Ray
Some Deaths are Only the begining.
Not all monsters live in the Loch; some lurk in the highest circles of power.Following the literal cliffhanger of Chain Reaction, the story takes an even darker turn. When Neil—one-third of the inseparable Trio—vanishes without a trace, Matt and Sri begin a quiet but relentless search. Their investigation leads them to the remote beauty of the Scottish Highlands, where rumours swirl of a new monster lurking in the Loch.
But monsters, they soon learn, don’t always live in water. A legend hides in the mist and so does betrayal.
As secrets unravel, a more chilling truth emerges: the real threat wears a suit and walks the corridors of power. Beneath the mist, betrayal festers. Espionage runs deep—deeper than the loch itself—and the closer Sri gets to the truth, the more compromised everything becomes.
Haunted by guilt, grief, and growing suspicion, Sri finds herself facing not just personal demons, but a nation on the edge.
In this modern David vs Goliath struggle, the enemy is far more insidious than any legend—and far better armed.
Genre: Thriller
