The Leading Lady
She never left a note in her life. Last night she left one, and somebody typed it.
The scene
Bandra, Bombay, August 1964. A bungalow on the sea side of Pali Hill belonging to Sandhya Roy, the leading lady of Mahalaxmi Pictures' last six films. The wrap party for her latest film ended at eleven the night before.
The victim
Sandhya Roy, 32, found at 7am by her cook in the upstairs writing room, an empty bottle of sleeping pills beside her, a typed note on the desk. The Bombay Police Bureau has already called it a suicide. Your job is to prove the note is the lie everyone has agreed to believe.
The suspects
- Rajan Mehra (Producer)
- Vikram Choudhary (Estranged Husband)
- Suraj Khanna (Co-star)
- Lalita Bai (Cook & Housekeeper)
- Ganpat (Night Watchman)
Every one of them is hiding something, and their alibis form a single shared timeline. Somewhere in it, one statement cannot possibly be true. Find the contradiction and you have found the killer. This is as far as any file goes without spoiling it, the rest is yours to work out.
