Rusted Rituals Retaliate

In a village where ancient rituals bleed into modern cruelty, one man’s murder unravels decades of buried sins—rituals that once brought peace now demand vengeance.

Rusted Rituals Retaliate is a haunting, multi-generational saga set in rural Kerala, where faith, caste, corruption, and forbidden love collide with devastating consequences. When Benny Mathew—a man devoted to justice and nature—is brutally murdered, his friend Chacko is thrust into a labyrinth of deceit involving fraudulent banks, hired killers, political conspiracies, and a web of rusted spiritual practices gone rogue.
From sacred Kalamezhuthu ceremonies to cursed Yakshis, from police brutality to illicit affairs, this novel exposes how blind belief can be weaponized—and how truth, once unearthed, retaliates with fury. Interwoven with flashbacks of love, betrayal, and unsolved atrocities (including the chilling murder of a Mohiniyattam dancer), the story reveals how the past never stays buried in Kaineervila.
Perfect for readers of The God of Small Things or Sacred Games, this literary thriller merges cultural authenticity with gripping suspense, offering not just a mystery—but a moral reckoning.
