Circa 2001. Delhi landscape is changing due to the construction of underground Railways. Recently arrived Sarojini is living with her aunt in 99 moon avenue, studying in an expensive University and trying to fit, but the garish metropolis is ruthless. She finds love and understanding in her journalist-neighbour jalaj when tragedy strikes- an unknown assailant molested her on the street. Can Sarojini fight the mental trauma and callousness of the authorities in charge of her case? Is jalaj using her for sex and convenience? And who is the lady she saw in an empty train at a wayside station? The colonial bungalows of their posh locality are set to be demolished, and replaced with multi-storey buildings, but an Englishwoman killed in 1942 still lurks in sarojini’s room. Jalaj is enamored by imperial Delhi, and her ghost appears to him occasionally- she tells him about the architect who designed moon avenue, magical tales of European adventurers and their Indian bibis, spirits, and mystics prowling the streets of Delhi, and the bizarre manner in which she was murdered. Caught between two women; one dead and another living, is jalaj treating both frivolously? Why is the dead woman telling him her story? Set in a fictional area of the timeless capital-city: 99 moon avenue is the story of self-discovery of a small-town girl torn by circumstances, a young man grieved by the impending loss of a piece of Delhi history, and a mysterious ghost trapped in past calamity.
For Superintendent Thomas Pitt, the sight of the dead man riding the morning tide of the Thames is unforgettable. The corpse lies in a battered punt drifting through the early mist, clad in a torn green gown and bestrewn with flowers. Pitt’s determined search for answers to the victim’s identity leads him deep into London’s bohemia—to the theatre where beautiful Cecily Antrim is outraging society with her bold portrayal of a modern woman, and into studios where masters of light and shadow are experimenting with the fascinating new art of photography. But only Pitt’s masterly investigative skills enable him to identify the wildfire passions raging through this tragedy of good and evil, to hunt down the guilty and protect the innocent.
A weekly review of politics, literature, theology, and art.
