Simon Chowdhury lived his life intentionally. He believed if he formulated intentions for his life, gave those intentions his full attention then he would make manifest the life he wanted to live. All his life he made his intentions be his mantra and created a rich and abundant life. It worked great, until it didn't.

Simon cared deeply about his family and felt it was his duty to take care of his family. Especially, after his father died in a horrific automobile accident. His mother Basanti loved him and appreciated his sense of duty and honor. If from time-to-time he sometimes was a little annoying with his lists of intentions, she ignored the little moments of unease. After all, he was a fine and honorable man who loved his family and cared for them.

His sister, Tamal, however, was well and truly exhausted with his constant making of lists, telling her she needed to set intentions and work to create a better life for herself. "Simon says! Simon says!" she shouted at him over and over again. "I'm a grown adult woman with my own career. Shut up Simon. I'm tired of hearing your voice".

She quieted his voice. Permanently.

Simon's death at the hands of his sister, shattered their family and appalled the friends who loved Simon. Their heartbreak was simply not important to Tamal.

Tamal Chowdhury weaves a trail of horror, death, and destruction. Whatever she desires, becomes hers, regardless of legal claims. Woe betide anyone who gets in her way. Her blithe, care-free killing spree and prodigious thievery morphs into a world-wide hunt for the truth and the bodies.
