Abstract
New York Times Notable Book of 2024 – Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian – The Sunday Times – and The Financial Times. A searing debut set in a modern India simmering with the tension of growing religious intolerance, by a major new international voice. This shockingly powerful "psychological thriller" and "riveting murder mystery" is "a magnificent work of literary fiction" perfect for fans of Age of Vice and Where the Crawdads Sing (Kiran Desai, Booker Prize winning author).
