No Suspicion: An Inspector Bhaskar Naidu Novel

By Renan Arjas

Inspector Bhaskar Naidu signed the form himself. *No suspicion* - accidental drowning, April 2020, a woman nobody ever identified. The file closed in his own blue ink.

Two years later another body comes out of the same lake. This one has a name, a widow, and a post-mortem that doesn't match the water.

The new file doesn't just reopen the case - it leads back to the sentence Naidu wrote when he was too busy, too junior, too certain to look twice. To find the truth of one death he has to prove the negligence behind another: his own.

What he uncovers runs from a gated flat in Jubilee Hills to an undisclosed offshore fund to a forged company-secretary certificate - a machinery so respectable it has never once needed to threaten anyone. The people who saw everything were never asked.

Told across three lives and two timelines through the Indian lockdown - the inspector who signed, the widow who won't stop asking, and the woman in the water whose handwriting is still waiting to be read - *No Suspicion* is a police procedural in which the detective is investigating his own signature.

From the author of *The Blood Cipher*. For readers of Tana French and *Age of Vice*.
