Trichy, 1991. The heavy heat of the afternoon is broken by a sudden, violent tragedy. In a quiet chemistry classroom at Indian College, a steady student named Jothilingam collapses.
No witnesses, no struggle-only the faint, sweet scent of flowering shrubs drifting through the window.
When the medical tests come back inconclusive and the police investigation hits a dead end, a 30,000-rupee settlement buys the college's silence. But the truth doesn't stay buried forever.
Was it a freak accident, a desperate act of self-harm, or a perfectly timed poisoning? Inspector Manickam is about to find out that in a world without modern forensics, the smallest shadows hide the darkest secrets.
And, comment if you have guessed the villain!
