Description
A searing debut novel set in modern India, where growing religious intolerance simmers beneath the surface. In Teetapur, an unassuming village just outside Delhi, a shocking discovery sets off a chain of events that exposes the dark underbelly of the community. When 8-year-old Munia is found dead, suspicion quickly falls on an itinerant Muslim man, Mansoor. As tensions rise and the village teeters on the brink of violence, Sub-Inspector Ombir Singh must navigate the complex web of relationships and loyalties to uncover the truth. With only one other officer to rely on, can he bring justice to a grieving father and an angry village? This gripping mystery weaves an intricate narrative that captures the essence of a nation grappling with its own complexities and contradictions, offering a powerful critique of modern India.
