“The Blue Bar” was ranked higher than even works of Ian Rankin among other stalwarts in the opening week on the bestsellers in the US. On why she decided to go first with a US publication date for “The Blue Bar” contrary to “You Beneath Your Skin”, which was first published in India, she says, “The US is the largest English language publishing industry, and provides excellent editorial support – I’ve learned so much about plot development and structure while working with my agent and my editors at Thomas & Mercer.” “The Blue Bar” is available in India as an ebook, and Biswas says the India rights for the book are being negotiated at the moment and there should be an Indian paperback soon.
