The Lie Between Stations at Marine Drive

By Prashant Mishra

When documentary editor Meher Khan finds a transit card logging journeys she never made on a remote river island in Assam, she is pulled into a conspiracy that has literally erased an entire settlement from official maps. Teaming up with a grieving musician whose missing parent may be the key to everything, Meher races a seventy-two hour legal deadline to publish evidence that could destroy an innocent life. But the deeper she digs, the harder it becomes to trust her own memory, her only ally, or the apparent victim who may have been orchestrating the truth all along. In a story where every answer hides a second lie, the most dangerous thing Meher can do is believe anyone, including herself.
