ABOUT THIS BOOK

Seven shockingly true crime cases, from the days of the Mughals to post-Independence India
The annals of India’s history hold some grim and dark secrets, which reveal the macabre, the gory and the downright bizarre. Almost unbelievable, these are the true accounts of the most monstrous murders committed by twisted men and women whose paths were marked by blood and gore.
There’s no denying that even ordinary people are captivated by crime, especially murders—it is part of the human experience. Join Bengali celebrity novelist Debarati Mukhopadhyay in her detailed exploration of the human mind, especially its darker crevices. From the first female serial killer in India to a man who brutalized children; from a sadistic king to a doctor who became an artist of death; from stories of adultery and betrayal to accounts of injustice and shameless audacity, this book chronicles the most devious minds in Indian history.

Can there be different perspectives to a crime? Find out from a master storyteller.
