Jul 21 (PTI) In the second book of her detective series, author Anita Nair explores the limits of depravity and magnitude of human greed told through the prism of the social evil of human trafficking.
Inspector Gowda, the central character of the crime fiction Chain of Custody sets out on a mission to find a 13-year-old girl and lands himself in a child-sex trafficking racket in Bengaluru.
This is the second time the inspector makes an appearance after featuring in Anitas earlier thriller in 2013, Cut Like Wound.
"Inspector Gowda is actually my alter ego, somebody who does all the things that I wish I could do. I actually am living vicariously through this character," Anita said at the launch here recently.
The author was in conversation with Pascal Fautrat, Director of NGO Tara a home for children at the launch of her book at the Alliance Francaise.
After deciding on the theme of the novel, Anita said she got down to researching and taking to various people in the field, including police officers who were working on anti-trafficking activities.
