Blasphear
About This Book
Sub-inspector Waqas Mahmood is handed the case of a seventeen-year-old boy's suicide, and he is tempted to do the bare minimum and close the file. He is tired of the police force and wants to quit anyway. A religious outfit lingering around the boy's house is one more reason to keep his distance, and Shantinagar, a dusty town in Pakistani Punjab, is far too hot for extra effort. Then the boy's friend gets in touch and insists it was not a suicide. The case may be tied to another terrifying incident in Shantinagar, in which a Hindu art teacher was lynched after being accused of blasphemy against Islam. Waqas is drawn in, and a horror story from his childhood begins to haunt him again. Piecing together witness statements, he uncovers accounts of friendships that crossed religious lines before they were destroyed by betrayal, conspiracy and fanaticism. He must decide whether he will give in to the terror of religious bigots or stand up for justice in a society that badly needs it.
