Hatyakander Age O Pore by Pracheta Gupta [Hardcover]

Vishwanath and Anjali's son is Malabya, and their daughter is Ananya. Ananya works in an office and Malabya is a professor. Ananya is calm and intelligent, managing both her office and home. She also has a boyfriend. Malabya, on the other hand, is absorbed only in his studies. Vishwanath is immensely proud of his son, with a love that sometimes exceeds normal boundaries. Anjali is always busy with household chores and has a somewhat irritable nature.

Suddenly, a teenage girl named Dopati arrives in this family. Brilliant in her studies, yet she harbors a criminal mind. Making good people turn bad is her game. Sometimes her mind is in the light, sometimes in the dark. The entire household seems to be in chaos. One day, Malabya is murdered on his way home, changing the course of the story.

Prochet Gupta's 'Before and After the Murder' is such a breathless tale that it confronts readers with questions. Is Dopati fate? The one that resides in our minds, sometimes in the light, sometimes retreating into darkness?
