Kausar Khan, the Detective Aunty, returns in a new case about the mysterious death of a young man in the Golden Crescent neighbourhood, which draws her back to the unresolved death of her son twenty years ago…

When Kausar Khan decided to move back to Toronto to be closer to her family, she didn't expect to have another murder investigation on her hands so soon--or rather, she didn't expect to have another murder investigation on her hands ever. But when a young man named Qasim is found dead in their Golden Crescent neighborhood, and when it turns out Qasim was close with Kausar's granddaughter, Maleeha, what's a grandmother to do but try to solve the case?

And it's not just a devastated Maleeha that is spurring Kausar on to find answers; it's also how much the circumstances of Qasim's death remind her of her own teenage son, Ali, and his mysterious death nearly twenty years before. Kausar knows firsthand what a difference closure could make to a grieving parent--and the more she seeks to find that for Qasim's parents, the more she begins to realize that perhaps it's time she find it for herself as well.

As Kausar conducts parallel investigations into both Qasim's and Ali's deaths and her "aunty" skills continue to bring information to light, she can't help but wonder if the similarities in the two cases are more than just mere coincidence--but how could two deaths, twenty years apart, possibly be related?

Detective Aunty is determined to find out...
