A CHILLING CRIME NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING INSPECTOR SARALKAR SERIES.
The mutilated corpse of a young Finnish tourist found in a public garden gets Pune Homicide Unit’s maverick cop Senior Inspector Saralkar and PSI Motkar into action. There are no clues except for a white sandal found on the scene of the crime. As they start looking for suspects, things get murky. Inspector Patange, Saralkar’s old friend and colleague, seeks his help to establish the identity of another murder victim—an old man found by a wooded hillside on the outskirts of Pune. Not only do the old man’s stab injuries match the wounds inflicted on the Finnish girl, he is also found wearing the other white sandal.
As Saralkar and Motkar struggle to find the link that connects the two murders, nothing is what it seems. The truth that seems to be emerging is far more dangerous, the motive far more bizarre. Who murdered Sonia Räikkönen and why?—the bone-chilling mystery will keep you hooked till the very end.
