Detective Priya Nair, for instance, is a relentless investigator with a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to justice. Her journey through the misty hills of Munnar to solve a hiker's mysterious death is as much about her personal growth as it is about solving the crime. Similarly, Inspector Vikram Singh’s pursuit of a serial killer in the bustling streets of Mumbai reveals not only his dedication but also the personal sacrifices he makes in his quest for justice.
But no story is complete without its villains. The antagonists in this collection are not mere caricatures of evil; they are complex individuals shaped by their circumstances and choices. Their actions, though condemnable, stem from deeply human emotions—anger, jealousy, revenge, and sometimes a misguided sense of justice.
Several recurring themes and motifs run through the stories in this collection. The most prominent of these is the idea of justice—its pursuit, its cost, and its implications. Each story examines different facets of justice, questioning whether it is always black and white or if it sometimes resides in the gray areas.
