The Obsidian Ledger
A sharp forensic accountant, shattered by his grandfather's mysterious death and a missing ledger, finds his world of logic and numbers plunged into a dangerous labyrinth of dark family secrets. Teaming up with an art historian, they must confront a hidden world far beyond their meticulous calculations.
The call came, stark and unyielding, cutting through the rhythmic pulse of Mumbai that usually defined Tahir Mehra's ordered existence. His grandfather, Hariprasad Mehra, was gone. A heart attack, the police had declared, their voices devoid of suspicion, their files already sealed.
As a forensic accountant, Tahir valued such neat conclusions. Yet, a chilling discord resonated beneath the official narrative, a sour note in the perfect symphony of their family's grief. His family seemed eager to move on, but Tahir couldn't. Retreating to Hariprasad's study, his gaze froze on the antique rosewood desk. A subtle, rectangular depression marred the dust where a heavy, familiar presence once rested – the Obsidian Ledger. It was gone.
