Room 14, No Exit – Kobo eBook

A landslide cuts off Cloud Rest, a guesthouse above Munnar. Seven guests have arrived with seven invitations. Nobody admits why they came.

At dawn, a man is dead in Room 14. The windows are barred. The door is bolted from within. A key is clenched in his hand.

Retired inspector Meera Pillai has thirty-six hours before the road reopens. But the locked door is only the first lie. The dead man may not be the owner. A missing box holds a family’s history. And Meera’s own signature helped bury the truth twelve years ago.

As the monsoon strips the hillside bare, someone in the house must decide whether justice means telling the truthor making sure one man never speaks again.

An atmospheric, self-contained short thriller about guilt, identity and the price of looking away.
