This graphic novel features Velan Poulose's eighth case.

Case 8: The Diamond Merchant's Murder

When a wealthy diamond merchant and his wife are found brutally murdered, suspicion falls on those closest to them. Could their sleepwalking son have committed the unthinkable without ever knowing it? Or does the trail lead to the influential Dewan? Perhaps the merchant's sister-in-law and her husband have motives of their own.

With every suspect hiding secrets and every clue pointing in a different direction, Velan Poulose must untangle a web of deceit, greed, and betrayal. As the truth slowly emerges, his keen powers of observation and razor-sharp reasoning are put to the ultimate test in a case where appearances prove dangerously deceptive.
