Murder Milestone: An Inspector Saralkar Mystery

By Salil Desai

" HAPPY HANGING!" Saralkar growled with all the spite in his system and stormed out of the cell. Weeks before serial killer Dharmesh Solanki is to be executed, he wickedly burdens Senior Inspector Saralkar with a macabre secret Saralkar would've been better off not knowing. Impelled to verify Solanki's disturbing claim, Saralkar and PSI Motkar reopen the sixteen-year-old case, for which the senior inspector had won a police medal. And out tumble intriguing leads and shocking facts that had fallen through the cracks back then. Worse, only a motley group of elusive characters might form the shaky bridge to the murky truth-- a missing ex-constable, a gluttonous witness who had narrowly escaped being murdered by Solanki, Solanki's biographer, the serial killer's own son, and the daughter of one of his victims. Meanwhile another dangerous murderer is busy prowling around for victims to notch up an impressive body count. In the midst of these crazy events, Saralkar's marriage faces rough weather, while Motkar's hands are full, investigating a trail of mysterious suicides. As the duo struggle to cope, personal tragedy strikes Saralkar and a tip-off propels Motkar into confronting an astonishingly diabolical psychopath on his own. Will Motkar prove up to the challenge? Will Saralkar recover his mojo in time? And will Saralkar and Motkar ever make sense of the complicated chain of murders and suicides and the dark secret of a despicable serial killer sentenced to death?
