Rudhra Veenai by Indra Soundarrajan
This is the first novel in a four-part series from an author whose stories typically deal with cases of supernatural occurrence, divine intervention, reincarnation, and ghosts, and are often based on or inspired by true stories reported from various locales around the state of Tamil Nadu. The work was later adapted for television as well.
