Description

Colombo, 1990, is a city where death and deception lurk around every corner. Maali Almeida, a war photographer, gambler, and closeted individual, finds himself in a precarious situation - his dismembered body is sinking in the Beira Lake, and he has no idea who is responsible for his murder. With a long list of suspects and a dwindling amount of time, Maali must navigate the afterlife to contact the people he loves and uncover a hidden cache of photos that could change the course of Sri Lanka's history. Maali's situation is dire, but he is not one to give up easily. With seven moons to work with, he must use his wits and cunning to outsmart the forces of death and uncover the truth. As the ghouls and ghosts that surround him make their presence known, Maali must stay one step ahead of his enemies and find a way to lead his loved ones to the photos that will expose the truth. A gripping and thought-provoking tale, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is a story of love, loss, and redemption set against the complex and often brutal backdrop of Sri Lanka's recent past.
