<strong>"A stunning, sophisticated, scalpel-sharp murder mystery. Powerful, fun, and hugely rewarding. Immensely impressive."-Chris Whitaker, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>We Begin at the End </em>and <em>All the Colors of the Dark</em></strong><p><strong>"Unexpected delights await on every page of Ram Murali's impressive and captivating debut.

Samsara is the Sanskrit word for the karmic cycle of death and rebirth, after all. And as it turns out, the colorful cast of characters Ro meets-including a misanthropic politician; an American movie star preparing for his Bollywood crossover debut; a beautiful heiress to a family jewel fortune that barely survived Partition; and a bumbling white yogi inex
