Six men have gone missing from the Mumbai Metro in seven months. Not one of them made it home.
Each one tapped in. In a city that cannot keep a secret for an hour, no body has turned up, no ransom note, no witness.
Sub-Inspector Soumya has spent six years at the same desk being told she is available. She is forty four, her handwriting is terrible, and she notices things nobody thinks are worth noticing. A bag on the wrong shoulder. A ceiling screw newer than the three beside it. A wall that should not be a dead end.
Somewhere under the city, an architect who mapped his first escape route at eleven is watching his plan come apart, one loose thread at a time.
Beneath the Map is a slow-burn crime thriller set in the tunnels beneath Mumbai.
