Bhendi Bazaar

1982. Three teenage girls planning a flight from the Soviet Union to the West end up being sold in Mumbai’s red-light area instead.

The murders start a quarter of a century later.

The victims are all men. All of them tricks, waiting for trysts with high-class escorts. DCP Rita Ferreira is quick to recognize the serial-killer strain; the media isn’t far behind. The news sends shockwaves through the city. The first serial killer in living memory of Mumbai is out on the streets.

As Rita grapples to establish the killer’s pattern through Bhendi Bazaar, the killer gives her twenty-four hours to stop the next murder.

Can she do that before she becomes the next victim?
