An impossible theft. A locked treasury. A mother's desperate love. The Bundela royal jewels have vanished from Orchha Fort's heavily guarded treasury. The doors were locked. The seals intact. Three keys required to enter-all accounted for. Yet hundreds of priceless pieces are gone. Detective Inder Shastri faces an impossible crime with eight suspects: A widow desperate to save her dying son.
A merchant who deals in precious gems.
A fort commander with succession ambitions.
A treasury keeper who failed to notice the theft.
A priest who speaks of dharma and duty.
And others, each with secrets to hide. But when Inder discovers the jewels weren't stolen-they were substituted with fakes over months-the investigation transforms into something far more complex. A mother's love. A child's life. The price of mercy when law demands punishment. In his most morally challenging case yet, Inder must choose: serve strict justice or honor compassion when a child's life hangs in the balance? An impossible theft becomes a profound meditation on justice, mercy, and the choices that define us. BOOK FIVE IN THE INDER SHASTRI MYSTERY SERIES
