When Inspector General Vijay Menon reopens the old file of a police officer’s murder, he expects dead ends and faded trails. But as chance conspires with his investigative instincts, the case begins to crack open, leading him not only to the culprits but to truths far more unsettling. What begins as the pursuit of justice quickly transforms into a personal reckoning for Vijay as the crime he thought he was solving turns into his own trial, dismantling the fictions of who he thinks he is and what he stands for.
A deftly layered excavation of caste, colourism and individual complicity in institutional violence, The Menon Investigation subverts the rules of the police procedural through its cast of unusual perpetrators and imperfect victims. With sparkling dry humour and a paradox-ridden protagonist at its centre, this is a masterful portrait of a tragedy profoundly Indian.
