We Were Never There at Platform Nine After Midnight

By Prashant Mishra

Nineteen-year-old sports physiotherapist Rohan Sen boards a monsoon-stranded train crossing central India expecting six routine weeks, but discovers a rental agreement signed in his own handwriting under a name he has never used. As the rain locks every passenger in place and the hours stretch into something dangerous, Rohan and a colleague whose loyalties grow harder to read must chase a trail of unclaimed courier parcels through compartments full of people who each remember the same night differently. The deeper Rohan digs, the closer he comes to a truth that will cost him more than the mystery ever could.
