Beskrivning

'A riveting murder mystery' Kiran Desai

'Brilliant, brutal' The Times

In the quiet village of Teetarpur, a child is found dead, hanging from a Jamun tree. Suspicion in the mainly Hindu community quickly falls on a vagrant Muslim man.

As grief turns to anger and threatens to explode into violence, it's up to Sub-Inspector Ombir Singh to uncover the truth before the villagers take justice into their own hands.
