Immerse yourself in the small town culture of rural Sri Lanka and follow the lives of two spirited female sleuths who prove that women can overcome social prejudice and take a stand.
Kiyama Fernando, an English teacher from Colombo, is fleeing a failed marriage. She visits her good friend Vinodhini Dias in a small town far away from her troubles. But, little does she know that trouble is about to come knocking soon enough... When the body of a local teacher is found abandoned in a paddy field and her friend becomes the prime suspect in his murder Kiyama concludes that the only way to help her friend, is to solve the murder before the police. As their investigation leads them from a paddy field, to a rubber plantation, a gambling den, and a school the two friends realise nothing is as it seems.
Will they uncover the killer before Vinodhini is taken away in handcuffs? Can they decipher friend from foe? Will the secrets they unearth lead them to an early grave?
The cast of quirky characters include a crafty money lender, a vociferous cook, and a handsome landowner.
