Plot summary
Vikram Naidu served with Interpol in Dubai, where nightmares of a 1984 riot in New Delhi, in which he lost his mother, and a temper he cannot hold in check drive him. As a boy he was taken in by Colonel Nagendra Naidu, an Indian Army man who also raised Anupama, and who on his deathbed asked Vikram to look after her. Five years after leaving Interpol, Vikram works as a freelance agent and still sees his psychiatrist, Dr. Iyer. Anupama, now head of the Nair Group, calls him after twenty years and asks him to come to her estate in Ooty; death threats have arrived, and she fears for her daughter Aditi, whose bodyguards she does not trust.
