Description: In a city that never sleeps, one detective stands between order and chaos, armed with grit, humour, and unbreakable persistence and patience.
Murders are nothing new to Mumbai—or to Inspector Gothoskar of the Tilak Nagar Police Station. But when the body of an American junkie surfaces, strangled under mysterious circumstances, even the seasoned inspector senses trouble. Soon, Gotya faces pressure from all sides—the media, his commissioner, and even the American ambassador. Just when he thinks he’s seen it all, a missing heiress, underworld dons, an Afghan warlord, and shadowy Russian operatives add layers to an already tangled case. The pot begins to boil over.
As the monsoon rains pour over Mumbai, so does a torrent of deception, international intrigue, and gang rivalries. A lesser man might crumble, but not Gotya. Known for his patience and dry wit, he navigates the murky criminal landscape, bringing charm and resilience to an investigation that threatens to tear the city apart. Radhakrishnan weaves a fast-paced, light-hearted thriller through Mumbai’s vibrant streets, offering a detective story as suspenseful as it is charming. Inspector Gothoskar faces down every threat to his beloved city with humour and determination in this captivating tale of grit, loyalty, and unexpected heroes.
Meet Inspector Gothoskar, an unlikely hero, middle-aged and overweight but passionate about his city and justice. A hero like no other in a city like no other.
