Red Mist A crime thriller by Anshul Verma In the underbelly of North India, where silence hides more than screams, a man disappears. Detective Aryan Sharma — cold, relentless, and haunted by justice — is called to Farrukhabad when Raghav Mishra, a known abuser and debt-ridden man, vanishes without a trace. His wife doesn’t flinch. The neighbors stay quiet. And the house smells of bleach. What begins as a routine missing person case spirals into a chilling hunt through the alleys of Delhi, the dumps of Ghaziabad, and the broken hearts of Lucknow. As Aryan digs deeper, he uncovers a web of lies, a suitcase full of bones, and a courtroom war where truth is the first to bleed. But the dead don’t always stay dead. And justice? It has a price. Red Mist is a brutal, realistic one-shot crime thriller — where the lines between victim and monster are smeared in blood
