You Beneath Your Skin

By Damyanti Biswas

Lies. Ambition. Family.

It’s a dark, smog-choked New Delhi winter. 

Indian American single mother Anjali Morgan juggles her job as a psychiatrist with caring for her autistic teenage son. 

She is in a long-standing affair with ambitious Police Commissioner Jatin Bhatt–an irresistible attraction that could destroy both their lives.

Jatin’s home life is falling apart: his handsome and charming son is not all he appears to be,and his wife has too much on her plate to pay attention to either husband or son. But Jatin refuses to listen to anyone, not even the sister to whom he is deeply attached.

Across the city there is a crime spree: slum women found stuffed in trash bags, faces and bodies disfigured by acid. And as events spiral out of control Anjali is horrifyingly at thecentre of it all.

In a sordid world of poverty, misogyny, and political corruption, Jatin must make some hard choices. But what he unearths is only the tip of the iceberg. 

Together with Anjali he must confront old wounds and uncover long-held secrets before it is too late.

You Beneath Your Skin is a crime novel about the investigation of an acid attack on a woman from Delhi’s upper class, set against the backdrop of crimes against underprivileged women. 

They are assaulted, disfigured with acid, and murdered.

It is a whodunit, but also a whydunit, because violent crime unravels those affected: the people, the relationships, the very fabric of society, and we get a glimpse of what lies beneath. That’s why the title, You Beneath YourSkin.

All the author proceeds from You Beneath Your Skin will support the education and empowerment of women at Project WHY and Stop Acid Attacks.

You Beneath Your Skin has been optioned for TV screens by Endemol Shine, as announced by Hollywood Deadline.
