Anna Malhotra has one talent: she notices things. Every microexpression, every suspicious glance, every slightly-too-long pause before someone answers a question. It's useful. It's also, frankly, exhausting.
So when anonymous messages start arriving on her phone - perfectly timed, unnervingly accurate, and apparently aware of her every move - she does what any reasonable person would do.
She investigates.
Her friends are less enthusiastic about this. Jacob would like everyone to calm down. Shanaya is definitely hiding something but won't say what. Kabir looks like he knows exactly what's going on and is choosing not to share. And Arjun is either a tech genius, a suspect, or both. Probably both.
What starts as a mystery quickly becomes something much bigger. Something older. Something that was buried sixteen years ago and was never meant to be found.
Some secrets don't stay hidden forever. Especially when someone is watching.
Eyes Don't Lie - a debut thriller by Nitya Bhawesh.
