Buriganga Deception

In modern Dhaka, Mina thought she left curses buried in Sonargaon's ruins. Now, in a cramped Old Dhaka clinic, alarms misfire, charts vanish, and on the wrong nights, an impossible scent of jasmine and clove slips through fluorescent air. No flowers, no kitchen, just proof that something unseen is near.

A courier's wax-sealed note changes everything. The riddle inside drags Mina and Sohana into the city's labyrinth of power-offices, exam halls, map rooms, data centers-where corruption doesn't roar. It signs. It stamps. It erases.

Waiting for them is Nishir Noon. Night Salt. Ageless fixer-his breath never fogs the glass, and his ledger writes back. Each solved riddle cracks open a scandal. Each "win" tightens the trap. Nishir isn't keeping score; he's taking names. By the time Mina understands this was training, not victory, her name is already inked into the margin of his book.

Buriganga Deception is a supernatural historical thriller, Book 1 of the Night Salt Chronicles, and a Nishir Noon story.
