A child lies face-down in a storm drain in a Bangalore apartment complex. Five-year-old Raji is gone and her mother, Kandamma, stands at the police tape asking not why, but who has the keys to that back gate.
Inspector Kamal has investigated many deaths. He has never met a witness like this one.
The Mother of Mortar is a taut, literary mystery set in the layered social world of urban Bangalore - where maids and watchmen and lift operators hold more knowledge than any CCTV camera, and where justice moves, when it moves at all, through the narrow gaps between one employer's demand and the next.
As Kamal traces a path from a drain to mortuary to a fugitive tailor to a generator room, Kandamma conducts her own quiet investigation - built not on warrants or forensics, but on the shared trust of women talking to women in plain sight.
Available in Kindle and paperback.The Mother of Mortar is part of the It's Time for Murder Mysteries series, which follows Inspector Kamal across the streets, lanes, and lives of contemporary Bangalore. Each book stands alone.
