A contemporary literary mystery follows the murder of a powerful minister’s privileged son and six armed guests whose lives reveal corruption, caste, celebrity, poverty and ambition in contemporary India. Blending whodunnit suspense with sharp social satire, it explores power, morality and the unequal nature of justice.
