The Rise & Fall of Cleopatra II

Sometimes facts are crazier than fiction.
This was what happened in the rise and fall of Jayalalithaa, the Cleopatra II. She was unique. As the first woman chief minister of Tamil Nādu, she became a nightmare even to a veteran like Karunanithi. She could fall many times but could rise from the ashes like a real phoenix. Chanakya and Machiavelli, could take a few lessons from her for the statecraft, for the shrewd moves of her coins, for the charismatic hold on the masses.
This is a thriller novel - a work of fiction with a blend of facts - how much is each, left to the readers to decide.
But you cannot put down the book
