An American business woman, Liz Barton, is found murdered in Mumbai and the list of those who might have had a motive seems to be getting longer by the day. Her husband was a cheat and she was apparently having an affair herself, Then there’s the enemies of her business and a colleague who may had had a jealousy streak.
Inspector Vijay Gaikwad is tasked with solving her murder and time is of the essence. There seems to be a lot of suspects too and someone else is very keen to get to the bottom of the matter – journalist Jay Ganesh.
Policeman and journalist are up against it, but there’s no time to waste.
Mumbai is a city of two faces. On one hand there’s the new shiny side with new money and wealth, jobs and people with futures. On the other is the squalor, the corruption and the poverty that it tries to keep hidden from the outside world. Mahim Creek on one hand is described as:
“With its ever present odor smell of rotten eggs”
So then add to this a case described as ‘ more difficult to navigate than Mumbai’s traffic and you get the idea of what it’s going to be like trying.
