Author Sharmishtha Shenoy unveiled her latest true-crime book ‘Candle in the Wind’ in Hyderabad. The collection draws from real police case files to portray crimes against women and children with empathy. At the State Gallery of Art, Madhapur, the atmosphere was both solemn and celebratory as Sharmishtha Shenoy, bestselling author of the Vikram Rana Mystery series, launched her latest book ‘Candle in the Wind’. “When Sharmishtha approached me a couple of years ago to write about our cases, I was skeptical,” Goel recalled. Protection of women and children cannot be the police’s responsibility alone—it must be a collective responsibility.”The author, too, views the book as a catalyst.
