Description
When a domestic servant disappears from the household of a prominent Delhi lawyer, the investigation quickly takes a darker turn—and private detective Vish Puri is hired to uncover the truth. As he follows a trail through the city’s crowded streets, tangled social networks, and competing versions of events, Puri must rely on observation, persistence, and an unconventional team of assistants. Blending classic detective intrigue with sharp humor and vivid insight into contemporary Indian society, the novel explores class, privilege, family, and the complicated boundaries between justice and reputation.
