A RITUAL KILLING. AN ANCIENT CURSE. WHAT'S MYTH... AND WHAT'S MURDER?

'A slick, masterfully plotted, white-knuckle ride of a read,' A.A. CHAUDHURI

'A highly enjoyable and hugely entertaining read' NILESHA CHAUVET

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 someone is on a gruesome killing spree, striking down those connected to the engineer in increasingly macabre ways. Meanwhile, an old friend of Kamil’s begs for his help breaking the curse he believes his family is under.

As the body count rises, Kamil is torn between solving a very real murder case and protecting his friend from a grisly – if far-fetched – fate. Can he catch a killer and prevent an ancient curse before more people lose their lives?
