Murder in the News Room

A ruthless media baron slaughtered in his own sanctuary. A humiliating display orchestrated to shock the world. And a twenty-year-old ghost demanding payback.

When Karunaprasad Mukherjee, the feared Editor-in-Chief of Free Press Express, is found brutally murdered and stripped in his locked antechamber, the official cover story is a natural death. The reality is a meticulously planned execution using women's lingerie as the murder weapon. Tasked with an off-the-books investigation by the Chief Minister, suspended Chief Detective Motilal Mistry steps into the crosshairs.

He isn't walking in alone. Backed by the lethal, three-second hand-combat precision of ex-commando Vikram and the digital wizardry of perfect gentleman hacker PG, the unbreakable trio dives into Kolkata's darkest underbelly. What starts as a high-profile locked-room mystery shatters into a sprawling conspiracy involving a subterranean torture chamber, bitter family inheritances, and a resurrected mason who was supposed to be dead for two decades.

As the hunters quickly become the hunted and the body count rises, the team must navigate a maze of corporate lapdogs, high-society dominatrixes, and cold-blooded hitmen from Munger. Murder in the News Room is a gritty, fast-paced thriller where justice isn't found in a courtroom—it's exacted in the shadows.
