Lockdown Infinity seamlessly continues the gripping narrative that began in Lockdown Alpha. In this novel, the story follows a woman consumed by the torment of unrequited love, leading her down a dark path of stalking and heinous crimes amidst the unending COVID-19 pandemic. Desperate to fulfil her obsessive desires, she harnesses metaphysical, mystic, and quantum powers to transform from a mere human into a complex, monstrous entity driven by a relentless killing instinct.

Against the backdrop of the pandemic, the story fearlessly explores LGBTQ issues, including discrimination, insecurity, mental illness, attempted suicide, and the tragic reality of lives lost to suicide. The narrative delves deep into the social, economic, and psychological complexities that arise during lockdown, shedding light on how these challenges can lead to disturbing and abnormal human behaviour, ultimately resulting in a surge of criminal activity.

A doctor and writer who traversed continents long before a pandemic brought our worlds to a standstill, Padmashree Mukand taps into both the scientific and creative spirit. Born in India, Dr. Karl Shergill carved an inspiring career across medicine and literature. After earning his MBBS and becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, he lent his talents to the NHS—all while cultivating parallel passions for poetry and prose. The author of over 10 books and plays that have garnered acclaim in Punjabi and English, his writing often explores the immigrant experience and what it means to heal others as well as ourselves. From early-career accolades like the Garden Party at Buckingham Palace to researching GI disorders to recently translating his own novel into a second tongue, Dr. Karl Shergill’s works reflect the vision of a citizen at home in the world. His observations lend insight and empathy equally into the consulting room and the human condition.
