In the Backstreets of Cochin: Into The Shadows of a Corrupt Underbelly (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798887048895)

Shanker and Shyamala are two police officers, based out of Delhi, who are investigating the attempted murder of Ramesh Pratap, a Business Magnate.

In the course of this investigation, they stumble upon multiple other murders, threats for extortion and many more illegal activities that lead to a much larger corruption model which includes the participation of the state machinery.

The main characters fall in and out of love with people on the other side of this case, at times even honey trapped. This further complicates the investigation as well as their personal lives.
