MIST
Ageing millionaire Bhaskar Fernandez has invited his relatives to the remote and possibly haunted Greybrooke Manor, high up in the misty Nilgiris.
MOUNTAINS
He knows his guests expect to gain from his death, so to safeguard himself, he writes two conflicting wills. Which one of them comes into force will depend on how he dies.
MURDER
Fernandez also invites Harith Athreya, a seasoned investigator, to watch what unfolds.
When a landslide occurs, temporarily isolating the estate, and a body is discovered, Athreya finds that death is not the only thing that the mist conceals. . .
Your next cosy crime fix – perfect for fans of Golden Age crime, Knives Out and Lucy Foley
