About The Book

Detective Sahadev Sharma faces the dilemma of investigating the gruesome murder of his ex-girlfriend. Just as he starts narrowing down the suspects, another murder makes the news in the same chilling manner. A serial killer stalks the city, and Sahadev’s investigation plunges him into a labyrinth of secrets, corrupt officials, a malignant godfather and a cryptic software threat that could cripple the nation.
While he commits to cracking the case in his traditional way, a mysterious person threatens to put the innocents in the city’s radius in immediate danger. He finds himself in a deadly crossfire with the most perilous don in the underworld. The tedious investigation puts his skills as a detective and as a cop to test. Left with very few people to his aid, Sahadev must improvise himself to defeat the mastermind who is puppeteering the other pawns in the story.
With the fate of the city on his shoulders, Sahadev Sharma must defy all odds and do the undoable to save the day. Few leads, fewer allies and no one to trust- he stands as the last line of defence against untamed evil. This isn’t just a case; it’s a desperate gamble for survival, where every decision could submerge the city into irreversible chaos.
