Beautifully Broken: The Detective's Sin

​"In the 1980s, Dhaka doesn't sleep. It waits for the rain to wash away the blood."

​Zayaan Haider is a ghost in a denim jacket. With a face that belongs on a cinema screen and eyes that have seen too much during the '71 War, he's the most dangerous man in the city. He doesn't just solve crimes; he deconstructs them. He is the Architect-a man who uses a .357 Magnum to enforce a law the police are too afraid to touch.

​But Zayaan is a man of contradictions. He's a war hero who hates his past, a genius who finds humanity boring, and a "good guy" who isn't afraid to play god.
​When a series of theatrical murders begins to target the corrupt elite of Bangladesh, Zayaan finds himself in a psychological chess match with a killer who knows his secrets. To win, Zayaan must use the very methods he despises: manipulation, rule-breaking, and a cold, calculating logic that threatens to swallow what's left of his soul.

​He's brilliant. He's broken. And in a world of shadows, his only sin is trying to be the light.
