Murder on the Konkan Coast: The Shadows of Vengurla

By Sachin Chandrakant Mane

A murdered schoolteacher. A coastal village hiding secrets. A storm of power, politics, and vengeance is brewing.

Vengurla, 1978. When the body of beloved teacher Vimala Patkar washes ashore on the quiet Konkan coast, ten-year-old Ravi's scream shatters the morning calm. Official whispers say suicide. But schoolteacher Sushma knows better.

As Engineer Vishnu Deshpande arrives to survey land for a controversial new port, he's drawn into the dark undercurrents of a village divided-by caste, corruption, and buried history.

The deeper they dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

In a place where everyone knows everyone-and no one says what they truly think-can one death reveal what the sea has hidden for generations?

A literary murder mystery that blends social commentary with slow-burning suspense-perfect for fans of crime fiction set in India.
