Cop uncovers big, terrible crime. He wants to investigate, but the top brass will do anything to prevent him from looking into it. Cop won’t let it go, so he ends up taking time off to investigate despite orders to stay away.
The bones of the plot aren’t new. But what sets this story apart is the rich and vivid setting. The author drops her reader straight into the heart of Mumbai.
I had trouble keeping all the characters straight, but it was still a worthy read.
