About this listen

It is the first night of Ramadan. At Sivaji Nagar in the heart of Bangalore, the market comes alive. It is also the night a killer decides to go out in public for the first time as a woman. In the bustling market she finds her victim and lures him into a narrow dark lane but she is interrupted by a young male prostitute. At first he is merely someone muscling in on her territory but when he recognizes the true face beneath the killer’s make up, his life is irrevocably changed.…

A day later, the young man dies of third degree burns. His murder would have been yet another unsolved murder of a low life but for the nature of the injuries incurred before he was burnt alive and a piece of jewelry found on him linking him to the killer.

A fortnight previously, another man was discovered murdered in the same manner. Inspector Gowda, the investigating officer of both cases, sees a pattern where no one else does. Hunch becomes reality when yet another man is found murdered. And then two more. When the police department fails to give Gowda’s report on the murders due weight, he has no option but to embark on a personal quest to find the killer.

Anita Nair is a prize-winning, internationally acclaimed author, playwright, essayist, lecturer, and literary personality. She has written several books. She lives in Bangalore, India.

A good read!

It started good, with these mystic characters but the plot was kind of out there from the very beginning. Also, for a South Indian, it felt odd listening to common names such as Anna and Akka being read with an accent. A good tale, but disappointed with the closure. Like give me another chapter, where is my All's well that ends well?

Good book but the narrator could have been better

Audible titles from Indian authors are not very easily available and so I was thrilled to find this one. The icing on the cake was that the narrator was also Indian.The story is quite gripping however the lack of homework on the part of the narrator is quite evident. He can't get the pronunciation of some prominent cities in India right. Though there is a heavy Indian accent for the dialogues, there is an unwanted anglicization of certain Indian names and places.
