The Varnama Variable

In the heart of the Empire, justice meets its match not in crime, but in silence.

When a high-ranking British officer is found dead under impossible circumstances in colonial India, Sherlock Holmes is summoned by imperial decree. But what begins as a case of locked-room intrigue soon reveals a deeper rot vanished records, ghost towns scrubbed from maps, and a name whispered only behind closed doors: Adithya Varnama.

A lawyer turned myth, Varnama operates where law ends and influence begins. Elusive. Untouchable. Deadly by design.

As Holmes delves deeper into the Raj’s veiled machinery, he discovers that some adversaries wield not weapons, but legislation, legacy, and the erasure of truth itself. With Dr. Watson absent and time slipping away, Holmes must confront a foe who plays not by rules, but rewrites them.

A chilling tale of intellect, empire, and the quiet horrors of legal impunity. For those who believe every mystery has a solution, this one will make you think again.
