Synopsis

Lockdown Infinity seamlessly continues the gripping narrative that began in Lockdown Alpha. In this novel, the story follows a woman consumed by the torment of unrequited love, leading her down a dark path of stalking and heinous crimes amidst the unending COVID-19 pandemic. Desperate to fulfil her obsessive desires, she harnesses metaphysical, mystic, and quantum powers to transform from a mere human into a complex, monstrous entity driven by a relentless killing instinct.

Against the backdrop of the pandemic, the story fearlessly explores LGBTQ issues, including discrimination, insecurity, mental illness, attempted suicide, and the tragic reality of lives lost to suicide. The narrative delves deep into the social, economic, and psychological complexities that arise during lockdown, shedding light on how these challenges can lead to disturbing and abnormal human behaviour, ultimately resulting in a surge of criminal activity.
