__________________________ About the detectives: Kamil has always wanted to be top cop. With a
father who reached the position of Police Commissioner of the Calcutta police what else could
he do other than hanker after an honourable career chasing the bad guys just like his dad.
However the odds are stacked against him. He's a Muslim in the Met facing overt and covert
racism and he needs to be twice as good as his colleagues to make it. All of this he could cope
with if only his personal life was humming along smoothly. Anjoli is searching but she
doesn't know what for. A high-minded psychologist who is super smart always restless and
naturally empathetic she is meticulous and often finds connections Kamil has missed. She would
love to get deeper into crime solving - possibly even have a go at it full-time but she can't
shake the feeling that she is an imposter in a game of let's pretend. Kamil makes her laugh
but she doesn't know why she can't make the leap. Why is she so scared of surrendering her
heart to him? Does she not feel deserving of love and adoration? Or does she fear a life where
she's always waiting for the other shoe to drop?
