When Ugrasen drops dead at No22 Sainik Farms, his niece Anjali is horrified, upset and confused. Though only fourteen years old, she knows something is amiss. Healthy Punjabi businessmen don’t just expire. And just that evening there had been talk of a consignment of rubies. By morning the word suicide was being mumbled behind closed doors.
 
And then there was that outsider Jasleen. How much did she know and why on earth was Papa so upset with Uncle Ugrasen last night.
 
In search of the truth Anjali seeks help. Knocking on Private Investigator Ganapati Iyer’s door is her first smart move.
 
Of course Delhi Police finds itself at a loss. It’s now up to the inimitable Ganapati and his North Indian namesake Vinayak to get to the bottom of the bizarrely perpetrated murder.
 
It’s an odd and interesting collaboration, with Vinayak perpetually wanting to upgrade Ganapati’s skills with the ladies and the gifted South Indian quoting couplets from the Tirukural for Vinayak’s benefit.
 
The real question is will this improbable duo succeed in solving Ganapati Iyer’s first case involving a very mysterious death at Sainik Farms.
