New Delhi (India), June 19: Renowned author L.A. Nolan returns with his latest novel, “Blood and Bombay Black,” the much-anticipated sequel to his award-winning debut novel, “Blood and Brown Sugar.” Published by Leadstart Publishers, this gripping follow-up dives deeper into the dangerous world of motorcycle clubs, exploring themes of brotherhood, betrayal, and revenge.
In “Blood and Bombay Black,” protagonist Alex Crossman finds himself back in the thick of the action, navigating the treacherous waters of motorcycle club rivalries. The Iron Horses, a notorious gang, narrowly escaped the clutches of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the previous installment. Now, Sandeep Bohla, a deeply troubled NCB officer with a personal vendetta, is hell-bent on dismantling their drug operations in India. Under immense pressure from his superiors, Bohla embarks on a rogue mission to end the Iron Horses’ reign once and for all.
Complicating matters, the Fallen Angels, another formidable motorcycle club, have their own score to settle with the Iron Horses. They deploy a seductive femme fatale to infiltrate the gang and destroy it from within. Meanwhile, a new motorcycle club in Mumbai, eager to seize a share of the lucrative hashish trade, inadvertently stirs the pot, leading to a chaotic power struggle. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, the Iron Horses must weather an unprecedented storm to survive and continue their trade.
L.A. Nolan, born in Toronto and of Liverpool descent, has lived a life as dynamic and adventurous as the characters he creates. His restlessness led him to travel extensively before finally settling in India in 2012. Nolan’s passion for motorcycling saw him crisscrossing the country multiple times, often with reckless abandon. He even dabbled in Bollywood, landing roles in films like “Aiyaary” and “Bose – Dead or Alive.”
However, it was a serious motorcycle accident that redirected Nolan’s focus to his true calling: storytelling. His first book, “Memoirs of a Motorcycle Madman,” released in 2018, is a humorous collection of motorcycle travel blogs that chronicled his adventures across India. This was followed by his crime thriller debut, “Blood and Brown Sugar,” in 2021. The novel garnered critical acclaim, winning Best Fiction Novel 2021 by Literary Voice Magazine and Best Crime Thriller 2021 by the SRG Lit Awards. Additionally, Ukiyoto Publishing House recognized Nolan as an up-and-coming fiction author of the year. The novel’s success caught the attention of filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, leading to its optioning for a movie adaptation by White Feather Films and a Marathi translation by Rajhans Prakashan Publishing House.
“Blood and Bombay Black,” launched in January 2024 to stellar reviews, and the book has certainly cemented Mr. Nolan’s reputation as a master of the crime thriller genre. The novel promises to deliver the same high-octane excitement and intricate plotting that fans have come to expect from his work.
Nolan’s storytelling prowess, however, extends far beyond this series. His collection of macabre short stories, “A Crate of Rags & Bones,” was released in December 2022. The book received high praise from all quarters, including notable author Neil D’Silva, and quickly became a bestseller in India. Nolan has also contributed to various anthologies, and one of his short stories is set to be included in a collection that will be aboard an upcoming moon lander, leaving a literary legacy in Space for future generations.
Recipient of various accolades and awards, Nolan’s crowning moment came when his short story “The Peddler & The Crow” won the grand prize of the prestigious Indian Writing Project, Season – 5.
L.A. Nolan now resides in Mumbai with his wife, a sarcastic beagle named Sweeney Todd, and two mischievous motorcycles, Wilhelmina and Elvira. His latest novel is available at major bookstores and online retailers, promising readers a thrilling ride through the underbelly of Mumbai’s motorcycle clubs.
