Some secrets don't stay buried. They just keep playing.
When disgraced Mumbai crime reporter Arjun Desai receives a box of eleven old cassette tapes from a dying woman in Grant Road, he expects another forgotten story from the city's violent past.
Instead, he hears a murder.
The recording is twenty-three years old.
The victim hasn't been found.
And according to the official records, she never existed.
As Arjun follows the voice on the tape through Grant Road's crumbling buildings, abandoned cinemas, police archives and Mumbai's powerful redevelopment networks, he discovers a conspiracy built on missing people, buried crimes and men who have spent decades making the city's past disappear.
But someone else is listening.
And the final tape may contain a memory Arjun himself was never meant to recover.
THE GRANT ROAD TAPES is a dark, atmospheric Mumbai noir thriller about murder, corruption, memory and the voices that refuse to stay silent.
