You Beneath Your Skin

“Crime fiction with a difference. . . . A novel full of layers and depth, focusing on class and corruption in India with compassion and complexity.” —Sanjida Kay, author of My Mother’s Secret

The acclaimed author of the Blue Mumbai Thrillers, including The Blue Bar and The Blue Monsoon, burst onto the crime fiction scene with this debut novel, which has been optioned by Endemol Shine India for a multi-part drama series. You Beneath Your Skin captures New Delhi in all its cosmopolitan complexity—from its streets to its mansions, its petty thieves to its high-ranking officials—as a serial killer stalks its most vulnerable women.

Anjali Morgan is the mother of an autistic teenage son. In her professional life, she’s a busy psychiatrist. In her private life, she’s been having a secret affair with Jatin Bhatt, the married, ambitious special commissioner of crime for the Delhi police. When a string of impoverished women are found raped and murdered, her two lives will collide—with unimaginable consequences . . . 

The author will donate her share of the proceeds from the sale of this novel to two nonprofit agencies that help women who have survived acid attacks: Project WHY and Stop Acid Attacks.

“A gripping tale of murder, corruption and power and their terrifying effects in New Delhi. Highly recommended.” —Alice Clark-Platts, bestselling author of Bitter Fruits

“Suspenseful and sensitive, with characters negotiating serious issues of society, this crime novel will keep you awake at night!” —Jo Furniss, bestselling author of All the Little Children

“Beautiful writing, strong characters and a story that will stay with me for a long time.” —Jacqueline Ward, bestselling author of The Agreement
