Paperback / Hardback

Three bodies found in Kullu,
shot and burnt to a crisp.
Two promising clues.
A missing nurse at the centre of this mystery.
Is she a clear suspect . . . or is there more than meets the eye?

Coming off a fresh suspension, IPS Simone Singh is thrown head first into a bizarre case of serial murders—a killer who is targeting doctors at the Regional Hospital in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh. She soon realizes that solving this case is not going to be as easy as she thought, as lying doctors, missing evidence and contradictory eyewitnesses work hard to muddle her case.

Nurse Aadya is on the run. She is running from what she once believed was her salvation, all to protect her baby. Everywhere she turns, she is surrounded by enemies, and Aadya finds herself entrapped in a noose that steadily grows tighter around her neck. It’s only a matter of time before Simone Singh catches up with her.

Can Aadya prove her innocence in time? More importantly, can Simone catch the killer before someone else dies?

Devashish Sardana

Devashish Sardana is the author of the bestselling The Girl in the Glass Case and The Girl with Broken Dreams. The Girl on Fire is his third book in the Simone Singh series, inspired by a range of experiences: Devashish’s lifelong love affair with thriller fiction, his passion for suspenseful cinema, and his own struggles with mental health as a kid. The result, he hopes, is a psychological crime thriller in the vein of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena, among others. Devashish lives in Singapore with his wife and college sweetheart, Megha. He flits across the globe selling hope in a jar (beauty creams).
