Love Lies And Lust: Death in the Darkness

A Murder in Mumbai's Shadows. Secrets Worth Killing For.

When corporate executive Ranjit Desai's body surfaces in Mumbai's polluted Mithi River, it seems like another forgotten tragedy. But Inspector Joshi suspects murder.

Ranjit lived a double life-respected professional by day, protector of street children by night. Torn between his wife Sushma and passionate neighbor Alka, he'd found unlikely peace before his death. So who silenced him forever?

The suspects circle:

• The betrayed wife
• Her vengeful brother
• The neighbor's traumatized teenage son
• Or someone far more dangerous...

As Joshi investigates, he uncovers a conspiracy reaching from Mumbai's slums to its glittering penthouses. What began as a crime of passion becomes something deadlier-exploitation protected by wealth and power.

But the battle-hardened inspector fights his own demons. Haunted by his past and drowning in alcohol, he must race against mounting pressure to expose the truth. In a city where money buys silence, seeking justice could cost him everything.

Because Ranjit died protecting Mumbai's most vulnerable-and his killer walks free among the elite.

When street children fall silent at certain names and a missing car belonging to influential businessman Ghanshyam Das surfaces, Joshi realizes he's stumbled into something massive. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous it becomes.
