Book Description
About the Book
Senior Inspector Saralkar is back at his desk after an annoying week at a 'Secrets of Living' course especially designed for police officers. And he is itching for some action. Happily for him, though not for the dead man, an exciting new case turns up right away. The body of Ashish Karve, a local businessman, has been found in the back seat of his car. To PSI Motkar, Saralkar's diminutive assistant, it seems to be a straightforward case of suicide. But Saralkar's sharp mind has settled on the possibility of murder. As the case unfolds, he finds a host of motives for homicide-Ashish's business partner, his wife, his brother, his friend, his brother-in-law and even strangers appear to want the man dead.

Is the senior inspector becoming fanciful in his search for clues or is he on the right track? As Saralkar and Motkar set about sifting the truth from lies and half-truths, the twists and turns come non-stop in this delicious, edge-of-the-seat thriller.

Prologue
JAVED TIRKHEY SCOURED THE DARK, SILENT STREET. THE CAR had been standing there for nearly two hours now. Experience told him that if no one came for it a little while longer, he could safely assume it had been parked there for the night and make his move. After all, the world was truly asleep between 2.00 and 4.00 a.m.

He waited. Earlier in the night, he had already ascertained that it had no central-locking alarm, when he had walked across for a quick reconnaissance.

Half an hour later, he decided it was time for action. Swiftly, he reached the car. Darting a quick glance around, he unlocked the car, started it, and was soon gliding away along the deserted road. It was as smooth an operation as any, and he exulted like a batsman after executing a sweetly timed shot.
