The Red Court File of the Court Canteen

By Prashant Mishra

When Meher Khan, a sports physiotherapist living quietly along the Goan coast, is mistaken for a witness who disappeared eight years ago, she is pulled into a conspiracy that blurs the line between memory, manipulation, and manufactured truth. A property developer has erased an entire settlement from official maps, a musician's missing parent holds the key, and a shared playlist carries metadata that reframes everything Meher thought she understood. With seventy-two hours before a legal deadline forces her to publish incomplete evidence that could destroy an innocent person, Meher must decide whether the danger closing in around her is real, misremembered, or something far more deliberate.
