In this standalone follow-up to the fan favorite The Gurkha and the Lord of Tuesday Saad Z. Hossain continues to mix futurism with fable, and shows how strange our lives might become.While Gurkha introduced us to the techno utopia of Kathmandu, Kundo takes us to the fading city of Chittagong, which is slowly crumbling into the sea as even Karma goes silent. But Kundo's contemplation of his dying city is interrupted when his wife leaves him and then goes inexplicably missing. When Kundo starts to connect the dots between a number of disappearances, he finds that the veil between worlds is paper-thin, and the djinn have their own stake in the matter.
