A TAUTLY NARRATED POLICE PROCEDURAL, WITH PLENTY OF TWISTS AND TURNS
Two victims—a woman lying dead on her bed, a man hanging from the ceiling fan.
A suicide note cum murder confession.
And a name—Shaunak Sodhi.
When the case comes their way, Senior Inspector Saralkar has just been diagnosed with hypertension and PSI Motkar is busy rehearsing for an amateur play.
What appears, at first, to be a commonplace crime by a debt-ridden, cuckolded husband, who has killed his unfaithful wife and then hung himself, soon begins to unfold as a baffling mystery. As clues point to a seven-year-old unsolved murder in Bangalore and other leads emerge closer home, Saralkar and Motkar find themselves investigating shady secrets, bitter grudges, fishy land deals, carnal desires, the dead woman’s sinister obsession with past life regression and her husband’s links to a suspicious, small-time god-man, Rangdev Baba.
And then, suddenly, the murderer resurfaces and yet another life is in grave danger …. Can Saralkar and Motkar get to the bottom of the shocking motive and stop the killer from committing the fourth murder?
