Delhi, 2003. As the city transforms under the promise of India Shining, Advocate Mukul Suri, a man of old-world principles, prefers the city's quieter truths. But his well-ordered life is fractured when he drafts a strange will for his most respectable client: the prominent and polished Dr. Harinder Jekal.
The entire estate is to be left to a man no one has ever met. A man named Haider.
Soon after, a grotesque act of violence shatters the winter fog in a forgotten lane. A ten-year-old girl is trampled by a brutish stranger who shows no remorse-a man who walks away and pays for the damages with a cheque signed by Dr. Jekal.
As Suri is pulled deeper into his client's world, he discovers a terrifying connection between the sophisticated doctor who treats Delhi's elite and the monstrous predator who stalks its streets after dark. Guided by whispers from the city's underbelly and a growing sense of dread, Suri realizes he hasn't just drafted a will; he's enabled a monster.
Now, the police are closing in, a fellow doctor is dead under mysterious circumstances, and Haider has set his sights on Suri himself. In a race against time, the lawyer must uncover the horrifying truth behind his client's transformation before he becomes the final victim of a man who has perfected the chemistry of evil.
A masterful and atmospheric reinvention of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, The Strange Case of Dr. Harinder Jekal & Mr. Haider is a chilling Delhi Noir perfect for fans of dark psychological thrillers, international crime fiction, and authors like Vikram Chandra, Jo Nesb , and Tana French.
