ABOUT THE BOOK: Against the glittering high-rises of the capital, Manu, a recent arrival
from Nepal, drips his days away on a construction site, cut off from
the world outside the labor camp. His sister despairs of finding him
among the thousands of migrant workers flooding into the Arabian Gulf to
build the country’s infrastructure. Manu and Sanjana must keep their
younger siblings out of poverty, even if at their own expense.
Police captain Ali's hopes of joining the elite government forces
are dashed when his childhood deformity is discovered. His demotion
brings him face to face with a rising pile of unexplained dead bodies
and also an aspiring journalist who is unlike any local girl Ali knows.
In danger of flunking out of university, Maryam is searching for an
original story that will appease her professor and keep her family’s
machinations for marriage in check.
Can the unlikely trio fit the pieces of the puzzle together before agency thugs get to Manu?
