The Last Screenshot of Marine Drive

By Prashant Mishra

When Ira Banerjee, a twenty-year-old public defender, is tagged in a photograph taken on a night she cannot remember, the newsroom in Noida that once agreed on everything begins to fracture. Working alongside a musician whose missing parent started the whole mystery, Ira uncovers a professor rewriting student research under corporate pressure and a manipulated video designed to silence her for good. To stop the truth from being buried a second time, she must confess her own hidden connection to the case, and trust that metadata buried inside a shared playlist holds the key to two families who have each been guarding half of a dangerous secret.
