Mallika Ravikumar

A shocking burglary has shaken up the small town of Maulsari, where Meera and Malhar’s father, has been transferred as the Senior Superintendent of Police. Heirloom jewellery and an antique idol of Goddess Mahalsa Narayani have been spirited away from their neighbourhood. Who could have carried out this audacious theft? 

With school closed for summer, and no friends in the new town, the siblings decide to snoop around. Circumstances lead them to Mirchi—the street smart, sharp as a button rag-picker, and his mongrel Munna. Together, they form the M4 and set out to solve the case.

As they begin digging, the M4 unearth a massive international antiquity smuggling racket, and learn about ruthless smugglers who will stop at nothing! The investigation also hides within it, many untold stories—of discrimination, injustice, and prejudice. 

The Case of the Vanishing Gods is the first of an exciting new mystery series with plenty of twists and turns and filled with an interesting array of characters. Uniquely, it also brings up fundamental concepts of Indian law, basic issues of justice and equality, and holds a mirror to the world around us.
