Vish Dhamija
is the bestselling author of eight crime fiction books. In August 2015, at the release of his first legal fiction, Deja Karma, Glimpse magazine called him ‘India’s John Grisham’ for stimulating the genre of legal fiction in India, which was almost non-existent before his arrival on the scene. The Rita Ferreira series has been acquired by Abundantia Entertainment to be adapted into a multi-season show.

‘The gripping narrative … is enough to keep you at the edge of your seat’ – FIRSTPOST

1982.

Three teenage girls planning a flight from the Soviet Union to the West end up being sold in Bombay’s red-light area instead.

The murders start a quarter of a century later. The victims are all men. All of them tricks, waiting for trysts with high-class escorts.

DCP Rita Ferreira is quick to recognize it as the work of a serial killer; the media isn’t far behind. The news sends shock waves through the city: the first serial killer in the living memory of Mumbai is out on the streets.

As Rita grapples to establish the pattern, the killer gives her 24 hours to stop the next murder. Can she do that before she herself becomes the next victim?

Ron Jogani, a jeweller from Mumbai, arrives in Belgium to buy a consignment of loose diamonds worth over €10 million. Hours later, he’s found dead in his hotel room in Brussels – murdered.

The tech-savvy killers have managed to elude the CCTV cameras in the hotel … except the concealed camera in the elevator that has captured one of them.

When one of the stolen diamonds is sold in Mumbai, the Belgian Police reach out to their Indian counterparts, and the case is assigned to DCP Rita Ferreira.

But when Rita and her team track down the man in the CCTV photograph provided by the Belgians, they realize there must have been some mix-up: the target does not even have a passport – he couldn’t have travelled to Brussels.

The inimitable Rita Ferreira returns to unravel a web of lies and deceit as she races against time in this thrilling page-turner.

‘Dhamija has set the sky as the limit’ – The New Indian Express

DCP Rita Ferreira is called into the investigation after a third corpse is discovered in Mumbai, which confirms it’s the work of the same killer who paints his victims’ lips with dark red lipstick. The Lipstick Killer, like all serial killers, is fast decompensating – the time interval between the murders shortening, the victims shifting from street-side hookers to high-heeled wives …

And he watches everything and everyone – the news of his exploits, Rita, the investigation – and talks. However, he only talks to you:

‘When I’m gone, some people may tell you that I was evil, perhaps even call me a psychopath.  Don’t believe them. I am not. I am anything but irrational and impractical; perhaps only slightly more detached than your average guy on the street.’
