The background to the story is the difficult period of Indian history after partition which Vaseem Khan has thoroughly researched. The difficult role of a female police officer in a patriarchal organisation is highlighted.
The story is compelling.
Vaseem Khan has an amazing ability as a storyteller and highly original use of similes and metaphors. "The dog was as wet and unhappy as a goldfish in a toilet bowl."
Although it is a crime story it is still a joy to read.
