The Borrowed Name of Platform Nine

By Prashant Mishra

When eighteen-year-old cricket analyst Tara Iyer arrives at a prestigious artists colony in Kochi, everyone agrees on what happened to the missing student. Then Tara finds a locked cloud folder that updates only while she sleeps, and a beloved song that hides a distress call inside its master recording. As a second witness vanishes and the colony's powerful inner circle closes ranks, Tara must choose between the qualifying tournament that could define her future and the truth that someone has buried with great care. The Borrowed Name of Platform Nine is a dark, propulsive campus mystery about the price of silence and the people institutions protect.
