    About this ebook

    Getting Away with Murder: A True Story is an anatomy of the gruesome murder of a grandmother in an upscale, dysfunctional, yet vibrant household in New Delhi in 1987. The subsequent investigation and the cover-up of the facts disclose a Clytemnestra-like history of domestic rivalry and vengeance. The memoir exposes the hypocrisy and greed that underlies the superficial veneer of gentility and breeding that have been the hallmarks of the family.
