SP Sucheta Sharma witnessed the brutal murders of her parents when she was a four year old girl. The nightmares have gone; the horror much diminished. To her it seems it happened to someone else. Adopted by her father's best friend and co-police officer, Arun Makhija, she has been loved, sheltered and mentored by him. To her he is her father, the father who has taught her everything she knows about life, about her job. But she cannot let go of the past. Sucheta is convinced that her parents' murders are not the case of burglary it was made out to be. There is more to it. So she reaches back into the past digging into her parents' case. With shocking results. She returns from a holiday at Dalhousie to find her flat ransacked. Then things take a bizarre turn. A girl is found murdered in an alley. Sucheta is chilled by the resemblance the girl bears to her. Then another body is discovered. Again the victim bears a resemblance to Sucheta. It is clear the killer is targeting them because he is using them as substitutes for Sucheta. From there it becomes a mind game played out between the serial killer and Sucheta- a shadow dance in which the killer seems to pre-empt every move Sucheta makes. There seems to be a link between murders being committed in the present and her parents' case twenty four years ago. But what is the link? To be precise- who? Who is her mysterious neighbor Tushar who professes to be a journalist? Finally Sucheta comes face to face with the truth. And her world is torn apart once again. Read Mind Game to find out the mind- numbing truth. Play the mind game. GENRE: THRILLER, CRIME, MYSTERY. WORDS: 74, 539. Pages: 117.
