Finally, an Indian murder mystery that’s truly fun and satisfying When DB, the mild-mannered editor of a Delhi tabloid, is poisoned, everyone is puzzled. He had no enemies. Who would possibly want to kill him? When there are more murders, the TV stations, the police and the nation! go into a frenzy. Two mismatched journalists team up to solve the mystery: Mridula, a waspish, middle-aged misanthrope, and Monami, youthful, eager and passionate about detective fiction. As the bodies pile up, Mridula and Monami must go deep into the mind of a murderer.
