About this audiobook
When a murdered engineer’s forty-year-old secret surfaces, a lawyer must choose between survival and the truth.
The fields of Periyakudi haven’t seen water in three seasons. The earth is cracked. The families are desperate. And someone has made sure it stays that way.
When water rights lawyer Ananya Krishnamurthy arrives to mediate what her firm calls a routine dispute, she expects paperwork and posturing. Instead, she uncovers a document no one was meant to find — a 1983 covenant that didn’t just steal water. It buried a man who knew the truth.
Irrigation engineer Selvaraj Muthusamy documented everything forty years ago. Then he disappeared. Now his fingerprint is pressed into a conspiracy that spans three powerful clans, a corrupt bureaucracy, and a political network that will do anything to keep the past from surfacing.
