The Secret Gardener

Kalpana Swaminathan

3.1/5 ( ratings)

‘Maruti took a newspaper package from his khaki satchel and handed it to Lalli . . . There was a wad of silky fluff inside. Nestled preciously in it, something glinted slyly like a jewel. It was one perfect fingernail, painted pink.’
24 Patwardhan Cross. The solitary bone that surfaces in the garden there doesn’t mean much to police surgeon Dr Q or Inspector Savio. But Lalli, who collects curiosities, finds it curious. Things get curiouser when a dying gigolo whispers the address in terror, and curiouser still when a mummified finger with a chic manicure turns up in the same garden.
Lalli might have ignored these curiosities had there not been a child at the heart of the matter . . .
As she investigates what makes this garden grow, Lalli uncovers a gruesome tale.
