Rishabh Mukherjee thought his past had been buried long ago. Now a successful entrepreneur in the US, he had left behind not just his small-town roots, but also a dark secret that altered the course of his life. But when his 11-year-old nephew, Abhishek, is kidnapped, Rishabh is forced to return to the very place he vowed never to set foot in again.
Haunted by the scars of relentless bullying and a final act of self-defence that nearly consumed him, he finds himself face to face with the ghosts he thought he had outrun for twenty-six years. As the desperate search for Abhishek unfolds, long-buried truths resurface—and with them, people who have never forgotten what really happened. But will Rishabh be able to save his nephew without losing himself to the past once more?

Without giving away the suspense, let me turn to the other aspects of the book. The language is simple yet effective, and the narration is engaging, making it a fast-paced read. All the characters are well developed, and the motive behind the crime—unfolding twenty-six years after that fateful night—is convincingly placed. At under 100 pages, its brevity works in its favour—the story moves forward without unnecessary subplots or digressions. It’s an ideal pick for readers who enjoy short, gripping thrillers or for those looking to dip their toes into the suspense genre.

My Rating:

4/5
