About this Book

Timmy Shergill, an upright New York auditor, had to die for doing his job too
well. This set three lives, in two continents, to intersect across different cultural
codes. Lester Cochraine, a carpet importer, was driven hard by ambition,
Sudesh Sharma, a struggling middleman in India’s carpet trade, aspired to
self-respect and Sergeant Mathew Hennessey of NYPD, recently stirred by
duty and infatuation, just wanted to be counted. This plot delves into hopes,
greed, and self-delusions, to show how predictable destinies can take dramatic
turns. It is also a crime story.
