************************************
DS Harbinder Kaur, a diligent detective, encounters a peculiar case when a ninety-year-old woman with a heart condition suddenly passes away. Carer Natalka's account of the death seems straightforward, but Harbinder senses something unsettling. Natalka reveals that Peggy Smith, the deceased, lied about her heart condition and believed she was being followed. Furthermore, Peggy was a murder consultant who plotted deaths for authors and possessed an in-depth knowledge of murder. As Harbinder investigates Peggy's flat, she is held at gunpoint by a masked figure, deepening the mystery.
As the investigation unfolds, Harbinder discovers that Peggy's death is linked to a series of murders that have been occurring in the literary world. The victims were all authors who had written books that portrayed murder in a realistic and compelling manner. Harbinder realizes that Peggy had been using her expertise to assist these authors in creating their fictional crimes, and now it seems that someone is taking the real-life inspiration too far.
Determined to solve the case, Harbinder delves deeper into the world of authors and their intricate relationships. She uncovers a network of secrets and lies that spans across the literary community. As she closes in on the truth, Harbinder faces dangerous challenges and encounters unexpected allies.
