One dead accountant. One missing laptop. And a city that wants Arjun Varma to stay in his closet. To the elite of Mumbai, Arjun is a disgraced lawyer who asks too many questions. To the underworld, he’s a target. But to a cynical man with nothing left to lose but his dark sense of humour, a "simple" heart attack is the perfect reason to start a war. Arjun Varma used to handle the legal messes of the ultra-rich—until he developed an inconvenient conscience. Now, he operates as a private investigator out of a stationary closet in a crumbling commercial complex, fueled by lukewarm coffee and deep-seated regret. When the widow of a high-profile corporate accountant walks into his office with a bag full of cash and a "natural" death that feels suspiciously like murder, Arjun is dragged into a web of creative accounting, luxury yacht conspiracies, and professional assassins who take themselves far too seriously. With a brass paperweight as his only weapon and a satirical tongue that gets him into more trouble than it solves, Arjun must navigate the rain-soaked streets of Mumbai to find a missing ledger that could bankrupt the city’s most powerful families. In a world where everyone is a taxpayer but nobody is honest, Arjun Varma is the only man looking for the truth—and he’s going to make sure he has a few laughs before the bill comes due.
