Kiss Of Death

It started with a three-second kiss. Fifty thousand rupees, a dangerous woman, a disgraced cop, and a bored car salesman collide under a showroom's white lights — a stupid dare dressed up as easy money.

Except nothing about it is easy. That kiss lights a countdown that doesn't stop for sixty-five hours, two countries, five bodies, a drifting houseboat, a hijacked trawler, a beach gunfight, a runaway train, and a live-streamed confession under a sacred bo tree.

Every lie has a timestamp. Every truth leaves a scar. And by the time the courts are done, all three architects of the conspiracy are locked into an ending none of them saw coming.
