The book revolves around the life of Ahi Chatterjee, a young girl in her 20s and the daughter of Director General of Kolkata Police, Dhritiman Chatterjee. Ahi owns a Publishing house named Ankur and has only succeeded in publishing a few works of debutant authors. But her life undergoes turmoil when she receives a manuscript from a well-known author Devang Awasthi who committeed suicide a few months back. The pages describe the personal life of Devang Awasthi filled with crimes and confessions. But if Devang Awasthi is dead then who has sent the manuscript? What is his motive behind publishing the autobiography? And why he selected Ahi’s Ankur?
Ahi determined to publish the manuscript visits Devang’s family in Delhi to get their consent where she meets ACP Abhimanyu Rathore who knows that something fishy is going on in Awasti Nivas and is on a constant look out for any clue, so he decides to help Ahi in her journey to find out who killed Devang Awasthi. As Ahi keeps reading the autobiography she comes to know about the dark life of the famous author which somehow at the end gets connected to her. She comes to know about hidden truths which shatter her life completely. Will they be able to find the murderer? What truth does Ahi discovers?

Once you start reading the book it is unputdownable and compels you to finish it in a single sitting. In every page there is a new development which doesn’t let you get bored for a single moment. With a well written plot and captivating characters this book has become one of my favourite reads of 2018. The mystery which the writer has woven deserves great appreciation. I am completely in love with the book and I recommend everyone out there to read it once. You won’t be disappointed.
