Summary

A series of murders in the streets of Bangalore, India, set in the mysterious world of hijras, the local transgenders.Introducing Inspector Borei Gowda 49, going to seed, and at odds with those around him, including the wife, son and everyone in the police hierarchy. It's the first day of Ramadan in heat-soaked Bangalore. A young man begins to dress: makeup, a sari and expensive pearl earrings. He is transformed into Bhuvana. She is a hijra, a transgender seeking love in the bazaars of the city. What Bhuvana wants, she nearly gets: a passing man is attracted to this elusive young woman - but someone points out that Bhuvana is no woman. For that, the interloper's throat is cut. A case for Inspector Borei Gowda must deal with. More corpses and Urmila, Gowda's ex-flame, are added to this spicy concoction of a mystery novel.
