Produktbeschreibung
"Teetapur, an unassuming village just a few hours outside of bustling Delhi, is famous for nothing--until one of its children, 8-year-old Munia, is found dead, hanging from the branch of a Jamun tree. In the largely Hindu village, suspicion quickly falls on an itinerant Muslim man, Mansoor Suspicion ignites like wildfire, fueled by religious tensions that simmer beneath the surface. The responsibility of uncovering the elusive truth - and prevent the lynching of the prime suspect - now rests on the weary shoulders of Sub-Inspector Ombir Singh. With only one other officer beneath him, and just a single working revolver between them, can he bring justice to a grieving father and an angry village - or will Teetapur demand vengeance instead?" --
