‘A SLICK, MASTERFULLY PLOTTED, WHITE-KNUCKLE RIDE OF A READ’ A. A. CHAUDHURI After a bruising encounter with a terrorist group, Detective Kamil Rahman has resigned from the Met and set up a detective agency with his friend Anjoli. But when his boss asks him to go to India to investigate the murder of a British engineer who was found with eighteen arrows stuck in his body, Kamil agrees to take the case, as long as Anjoli can accompany him. When they arrive in Mumbai, they find that someone is on a gruesome killing spree, striking down, in increasingly macabre ways, those connected to the engineer. Meanwhile, an old friend of Kamil’s begs for his help to break the curse he believes his family is under.
