Rahul Raina discusses his debut novel How to Kidnap the Rich - the Radio 2 Book Club Book Of The Month, which is a satire on modern India and tells the story of ‘Ramesh Kumar’, who has a simple formula for fame and success… find a wealthy kid, make him a star, and create an elaborate scheme to extort money from his parents.

He wrote How to Kidnap the Rich, set in the 40 degree heat of New Delhi, where he wrote it in the evening after doing his volunteer charity work.
