The Ghost of St. Xavier's

The Ghost of St. Xavier's is a gripping crime instigative novel that plunges the Deshpande Group into a world of hidden history and generational betrayal, revealing that the conspiracy they thought was over is still very much alive.

The apparent suicide of brilliant college student, Rohan Varma, who leaves behind a cryptic message, forces the team to investigate the venerable St. Xavier's College. Their mission quickly leads them to uncover a sinister secret society, The Serpent's Coil, rooted in an act of treason and collaboration dating back to 1942.

The investigation targets Professor Bannerji's office to find Rohan's final project—a physical hard copy detailing his shocking historical research. The pursuit brings them into direct conflict with a familiar and ruthless enemy, Mr. Sharma, the enforcer who quickly surfaces to protect the Coil's 'legacy'. The book is a high-stakes race where the price of truth is the team's own safety, forcing them to confront the disturbing reality that their initial victory over the corporate conspirators was just a temporary truce in a much larger, ongoing war.
