In Your Blood I Run
A crime mystery set in British India, 1936.
On a cold, wet night, Ratan, a wandering law college dropout, is called to pick up his employer, Sara Davenport, from a party at the Governor’s residence. As he arrives, he sees a figure running through the trees in the dark. The next second, he spots Sara in the thicket, just as she stumbles and falls. He rushes to her, but she dies in his arms. Her throat has been slashed.
Sara was his employer, his lover, his friend, and now Ratan has her blood on his hands. He decides to flee. Little does he know that when her body is discovered the next day, the police will find alongside it a book of erotic stories written by Ratan’s childhood friend, Lavanya Shriram. And with the book will be a note — addressed to Ratan. The police trace Lavanya in Bombay and threaten to ban her book unless she can help them find Ratan.
Can the two childhood friends come together to track down the real killer and absolve themselves before it’s too late? Set in a time when India is grappling with colonial rule, this is a thrilling tale about secrets uncovered, and freedoms lost and found.
