Pranav Paleja, a criminal lawyer who works at a legal Chamber-Mangesh & Mangharam. He’s an ordinary man with an ordinary life. And while it his job to uphold the law, he seems pathologically incapable of doing this in real life.
The mystery of this novel concerns an accident. We follow the investigation of a horrific car crash into a toll booth on the Bandra-Worli Sealink, and the ensuing death of the person driving, who turns out to be someone our protagonist Pranav Paleja had butted heads with; a disreputable builder by the name of Yogesh Moolchandani. All the signs say suicide but there was nothing even remotely wrong with his life. He had just cracked a deal and things were looking hale and hearty for him. He had even recently purchased an imported Volkswagen Jetta. The CCTV footage shows him crashing into the toll booth at a speed of 180 km per hour.
The car dealer he had purchased it from had received five missed calls from him just five minutes prior to the alleged time of the crash. The authorities begin to wonder why he was so frantically trying to get in touch with him and what on earth could have possibly transpired to cause this death? Since Pranav Paleja was settling a dispute with the man concerned only moments before the crash, the police land up at his doorstep. Who or more supposedly what killed Yogesh Moolchandani?
