Inside the Second Timeline

By Adeeba Rashid

Veer Oberoi is nineteen, careful, and good at staying out of trouble until a dead man's key leads him to a room that should not exist inside a Bengaluru startup campus. When the child of a musician who vanished years ago arrives asking questions, Veer's old restraint crumbles and every photograph he takes begins to feel like evidence. As an online mob closes in and a family secret threatens to surface, Veer must decide how far loyalty stretches when the most convincing clue turns out to belong to an entirely different crime. Inside the Second Timeline is a propulsive mystery about ambition, buried evidence, and the cost of finally looking at what you chose not to see.
