The Pickpocket's Letter

The Pickpocket’s Letter sweeps readers into the turbulent life of Deenu, a seventeen-year-old whose world has been marked by abandonment, betrayal, and relentless danger. Unable to read or write, Deenu pours out his soul in an impassioned letter to India’s Prime Minister, recounting an odyssey that begins in an orphanage and plunges him into the menacing shadows of child-trafficking in Bengaluru. When his only friend is brutally murdered, Deenu flees to Kolkata, clutching a stolen photograph—unaware it holds the key to a deadly secret. Pursued by the vengeful trafficker Vikram, Deenu is thrust into a high-stakes quest sparked by a chance encounter: a lost wallet, a forgotten love letter, and the possibility of reuniting two souls separated by time. As violence erupts around him, Deenu faces an impossible choice—risk everything for justice or lose himself to the darkness. Heart-wrenching and triumphant, this electrifying story is a testament to the unbreakable strength of the human spirit and the redemptive power of compassion.
