The Man in the Monsoon Coat: Leomohan Pocket Novels (LPN)

A writer arrives in Ooty seeking inspiration. What he finds is a palace that shouldn't exist, a royal host who may not be alive, and a vintage Plymouth car that holds the weight of a forgotten tragedy. When Rudra Maharaja invites him into the grand halls of a once-glorious estate, the writer is drawn into a story that defies logic and time. Meals are served by a silent old man. Conversations stretch across decades.
And every night ends in an inexplicable eighteen-hour sleep. As the writer investigates the royal family's history, he uncovers a buried scandal, a brother's betrayal, and a car crash that shattered lives twenty years ago. But the deeper he digs, the more blurred the line becomes between fiction and reality-until he realizes he may not be writing the story at all. he may be living it. With the help of Ravi, a local driver unknowingly tied to the palace's secrets, the writer must confront the ghosts of the past-both literal and emotional-and decide whether truth is worth the cost of sanity.
A haunting psychological thriller set in the misty hills of Ooty, The Man in the Monsoon Coat is a tale of betrayal, memory, and the stories that refuse to die. Read time: Under 60 minutes. Short Read Series: Book 2 of 30 in the Leomohan Pocket Novels
