About the Author

Dr. Ramesh Pattni OBE brings a rare fusion of forensic psychology, Indian history, and philosophical depth to the world of crime fiction. With doctorates from both Oxford University (DPhil) and the New School of Psychotherapy & Counselling (DCPsych), and decades of research in Indian psychology and cultural trauma, Dr. Pattni crafts psychological thrillers rooted in historical truth and emotional authenticity. Echoes of Time: A Jaipur Mystery draws on his unparalleled expertise in ancient Indian texts, intergenerational trauma, and the legacy of colonial power, delivering a mystery that is both intellectually rich and emotionally compelling.
 
As a professor of psychology and former Oxford tutor, Pattni’s storytelling weaves intricate symbolism, archival secrets, and psychological nuance into a gripping narrative. His background as a psychotherapist and interfaith leader infuses his work with layered character development and moral complexity. Readers will be drawn to his unique voice—grounded in rigorous scholarship yet driven by personal resonance and deep empathy. This is more than a murder mystery; it’s a journey into memory, myth, and the unresolved past. Dr. Pattni doesn’t just write about justice—he reveals how truth, when buried, always leaves echoes behind.
