24 Patwardhan Cross; The solitary bone that surfaces in th garden there, doesn't mean much to police surgeon Dr. Q or inspector Savio. But Lalli, who collects curiosities, finds it curious. Things get curiouser when a dying gigolo whispers the address in terror, and curiouser still when a mummified finger with a chic manicure turns up in the same garden. Lalli might have ignored these curiosities, had there not been a child at the heart of the matter As she investigates what makes this garden grow, Lalli uncovers a gruesome tale.
