When undercover cop Ajay Sharma reaches out to private investigator Aarya Sarkar, claiming his cover has been blown, she agrees to meet him.
He never shows up.


By morning, Ajay is dead. His body is found in an abandoned warehouse, the cause officially ruled a drug overdose. The police are ready to close the file.

But Aarya isn’t.

With the help of her closest friend, Sid, a security expert with a talent for trouble, Aarya starts digging into Ajay’s final days. What she finds doesn’t add up: a rival cartel’s territory, a Nigerian who seems to be everywhere and yet nowhere, a powerful pharmaceutical company, and a death that feels staged a little too perfectly.

Someone wants the truth buried.
Someone with reach.
Someone watching her every move.


Ajay was investigating something bigger than himself, but first she needs to find the one who killed him. Set in the dark underbelly of NCR, this fast-paced detective thriller follows a woman who refuses to back down.
