Luckily, an exciting new case turns up right away! The body of Ashish Karve, a local businessman has been found in the back seat of his car.

As the case unfolds Saralkar finds enough motives for people, be it Ashish's business partner, his wife, his brother, his friend, his brother-in-law or even strangers to want to do away with him! Is the senior inspector becoming too fanciful in his imagination or is he on the right track in assuming that Ashish was killed? Delve into this deliciously thrilling whodunit and walk along with Senior Inspector Saralkar and PSI Motkar as they set out to sift the truth from lies and half truths.
