‘Someone is stalking the streets of\n Sonagachi.’  \n  It’s the 1870s, and Calcutta is\n bustling with commerce and colonialism. A sea of changes has been ushered in\n by the relatively new British Raj, which has led to migrants from all over\n India filling\n up the city with their hopes and dreams. \n Amongst these struggling masses is a serial killer on the prowl. Corpses of\n sex-workers start turning\n up at ponds and in the by-lanes of Sonagachi, Calcutta’s famed pleasure\n district, choked to death\n and stripped of all their ornaments. Fear has gripped the city and the\n nascent police department\n seems to be chasing shadows. \n This is the story of Trinoyoni Debi: a sensuous seductress with a silver\n tongue and a love for all things\n shiny. But behind those eager eyes lurks a savagery that has made Trinoyoni\n the stuff of legends.\n How could such a breath-taking beauty be so terrifying? How many more will\n she kill before she\n is satiated? And is there anyone who can stop her? Follow her life as she\n transforms from a child\n widow to a famed courtesan and merciless murderer, becoming India’s\n first-ever serial killer.
