After the Paper Witness

By Adeeba Rashid

When twenty-three-year-old community organiser Yuvan Bhat is named in the will of a stranger who lived in a crumbling Nagpur apartment block, the inheritance feels like a mistake. But as Yuvan digs into a cold case involving a missing musician's parent, a fabricated romance, and a buried evidence trail, the cost of uncovering the truth begins to mount in ways no one warned about. Every clue tightens a noose around people Yuvan loves, and the final lead, a tattoo copied from a crime photograph, forces a trade that no honest person should have to make. Solving the mystery means confessing a secret more dangerous than the crime itself.
