Let's Pray for Timmy

Timmy Shergill, an upright New York auditor, had to die for doing his job too well. This set three lives, in two continents, to intersect across different cultural codes. Lester Cochraine, a carpet importer, was driven hard by ambition, Sudesh Sharma, a struggling middleman in India's carpet trade, aspired to self-respect and Sergeant Mathew Hennessey of NYPD, recently stirred by duty and infatuation, just wanted to be counted. This plot delves into hopes, greed, and self-delusions, to show how predictable destinies can take dramatic turns. It is also a crime story.
