The Return Of Faraz Ali by Imran Ahmad
Set in Lahore across turbulent decades, an inspector is ordered by his influential father to cover up the murder of a young courtesan in Heera Mandi, drawing him back to the neighborhood he was taken from as a child. As he probes the case, he confronts buried family secrets and the women he left behind, exposing layers of corruption, class hierarchies, and the reach of state power. Told through shifting timelines and perspectives, it becomes a story of identity, complicity, and the cost of choosing truth over loyalty as he fights to reclaim a life shaped by others’ ambitions.
