About the Book:
This gripping Bengali psychological thriller begins with the shocking discovery of a woman's lifeless body floating in the middle of the Ganges. Found by a group of people during their morning bath, the body bears horrifying marks—deep cross-shaped wounds on the face and abdomen, and disturbing signs of brutality that set the tone for a dark and intense investigation.

CID officer Meghna, known for her sharp observational skills, takes charge of the case. As she carefully examines the body, she notices strange and puzzling details—especially the unusual way the victim’s hair is twisted and entangled, raising questions about whether it was intentional or accidental.

Meanwhile, the prime suspect, Nihan, a struggling artist, vehemently denies any involvement. He insists that his hands are meant for painting, not for committing crimes. As the investigation unfolds, layers of love, betrayal, psychological conflict, and hidden truths come to light.

The story beautifully intertwines emotions with suspense—beginning with love symbolized by orchids and ending with tragedy marked by yellow oleander. It reflects how life, like a canvas, starts with hope and colors but can slowly fade into darkness, leaving behind only a “dark sketch.”

A must-read for lovers of crime fiction and psychological thrillers, this book keeps readers hooked till the very end with its intense narrative and unexpected twists.
