The story belongs to the protagonist Naina, who is an ASP (Mumbai Police) and is entrusted to solve the case of serial killings rattling the city. The clues are concrete at each crime scene and Naina discovers the MO. As she delves deeper into the investigation, she discovers the horrific underlying darkness beneath the tip of the iceberg. It takes her to Nera, a small town in Nepal and then enfolds the gory details of women trafficking and the eventual push into the flesh trade.
While this happens, a shocking revelation on the personal front, parallelly, shakes Naina to the core. Is this an act of vigilantism? An act of revenge? Is taking law into one’s hands appropriate for whatever reasons? These are the questions that are raised before the reader.
The author has beautifully woven the plot, and the story is fast-paced. The character arcs are well-defined. The twist towards the climax is unexpected—a very riveting read.
