About this audiobook
Eighteen chiselled marks. Six murders. One epigrapher running out of stone to stand on.
A slab of black granite shouldn’t be able to get anyone killed. But when Dr. Vaidehi Sundaresan is called in to authenticate an inscription pulled from the ruins of a Srirangam temple wall, she finds something wrong with it — a border of eighteen chiselled marks, cut with a modern tool by an ancient hand.
She has seen one of those marks before. In a police photograph. Beside a body.
Three killings, thirty-five months, scattered across the Cauvery Delta — a watchman, a garland-maker, a photographer who saw too many empty pedestals where bronze gods used to stand. Each death marked with a single glyph. Each glyph carved into the same stone.
It isn’t a signature. It’s an index — a ledger in granite, tallying which sanctums have been emptied and which counterfeit gods now sit in their place.
