Inside the Red Court File

By Adeeba Rashid

When travel vlogger Avni Kulkarni picks up a stranger's transit card in a Dehradun bookshop lane, she stumbles into a disappearance the whole town agreed to forget. The card belongs to a musician searching for a missing parent, and together they uncover a ghost story that was never supernatural but was always criminal. As an elite institution closes ranks and a convenient engagement threatens to bury the truth, Avni must decide whether one person's courage is enough to break a community's oldest silence. Inside the Red Court File is a dark, propulsive campus mystery about the price of speaking when every powerful voice tells you to stop.
