ABOUT THE BOOK

The novel is a work of crime fiction. Arjun, a young man, is greatly distressed by the horrific murders of innocent people that occur practically daily. The horrific gang rape and murder of Maya, a helpless girl, on a night bus and the mob-lynching of two young brothers in Pakistan were the two most horrible events that profoundly affected him and nearly changed his life. He is frustrated by the inadequate consequences in both situations. While on a religious trip to Gaumukh glacier in Uttarakhand, he is led to a supernatural world, amidst a conclave of restless, loitering spirits of the slain victims of some of the grave crimes. He encounters a sage who has a mysterious link to the three worlds—the divine, the human, and the dead. He confers the power of invisibility upon Arjun to deliver justice. Arjun settles the scores with the sole surviving perpetrator of the gang-rape. Besides, he also rescues many children from traffickers, slavery, and abuse using divine power.
