nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - About the BookAN UNPUTDOWNABLE SLOW BURN ABOUT THE LIFE OF A RETIRED COP IN SMALL-TOWN KERALA.Having retired from the Kerala State Police, Shreedharan Nair seeks a quiet life in a small village. But the peace he has just begun to savour is shattered one night when stones clatter against his tiled roof. As the stone-pelting becomes routine, Nair-once feared as the ruthless 'Kaalan Shreedharan', Kaalan being Yama, the god of death-suspects that retribution may finally be at his door.
