Rekha Rao, a thirty-something Indian American professor of art history is disillusioned by academia and haunted by the murder of her father, for which she believes police convicted the wrong person.
She moves away from her match-making family, to live an independent life. As luck would have it, she gets entangled in a second murder, that of her mentor and father figure, Professor Joseph Faust. An idol of the Hindu Goddess Durga, the murder weapon, and is found on the body. Rekha is asked to help Detective Al Newton understand the relationship, if any, between the meaning of the statue and the motive for the murder.
Rekha is attracted to Al but steers clear of him because of her distaste for cops and a prior abusive experience with a boyfriend, doing only what was asked of her. The two constantly clash, starting a love-hate relationship.
When police arrest one of her students, and accuse Faust of idol theft, Rekha's 'dharma', her duty, rears its head, and propels her into looking for the killer on her own. Despite interference from Al, and having to meet a suitor set up by her aunt, she finds the killer, and in the process, tastes the prospect of a romance, and discovers her true identity.

Sister's Wife
She sat in the café, enjoying her black coffee like every Monday morning. Black coffee, like her heart, she thought over and over again, smiling. She just skimmed the latest article on the front page with her left glance. Reports of new missing people were no longer so foreign to her. The names of the victims were, as if archived, in her head. -The police are doing their best to find the missing people and catch the perpetrator...- She grimaced in reluctance and looked toward the intersection at the end of the main street. A police car with two police officers, with [typical] donuts and coffee to go. Typical - she thought out loud. Her view was suddenly blocked. A black car stopped in front of the café. The door opened and a young man-early 30s, she guessed-got out. A black suit, red tie, shiny dancing shoes. [Typical] businessmen. His intense gaze rested on her. She looked at her gold watch-her father's keepsake. 7:01 a.m. "You're late" "Just a minute" She looked at the clock again. 7:02 a.m. "No, two" With an elegant gesture, he invited her in. She left the coffee cold, as there would be another opportunity. They sat quietly opposite each other. She placed her red coat on her thighs. It was nice and warm in here. ,,Who?" He pressed a small collection of files into her hand. -Amara Smith-Complete
