After the Unclaimed Key

By Adeeba Rashid

When food blogger Rohan Sen discovers that every member of an old group chat has deleted the same week of messages, he finds himself pulled into the rotting heart of Nagpur's Shivaji Niwas apartment block, where a cold case refuses to stay buried. Alongside a grieving musician whose missing parent shadows every clue, Rohan follows a trail of compromised biometric data, catalogued objects from a demolished house, and a tattoo lifted from a crime scene photograph. As a monsoon storm severs the building from the outside world, Rohan must decide how much he trusts the person standing closest to him and how much truth he can afford to carry alone.
