Set in the vibrant backdrop of 1920s Bombay, this intriguing mystery introduces readers to Perveen Mistry, a trailblazing female lawyer navigating the complexities of a patriarchal society. When she is tasked with handling the estate of a wealthy Muslim family, she discovers a tangled web of secrets intertwined with cultural norms and gender expectations. As the only female lawyer in Mumbai, Perveen must confront the prejudices of her peers while unraveling the truth behind the family's affairs.
Amidst the bustling streets and the rich tapestry of life in Malabar Hill, tensions escalate when the widows of the estate become embroiled in suspicion and intrigue.

It showcases Perveen as a complex heroine, juxtaposing her legal prowess with the emotional complexities of her life.
