The Lost Girl of Verannagudi: A town's darkest secret buried for 20 years.

The Lost Girl of Verannagudi:A town’s darkest secrets, buried for 20 years.
In the quiet town of Verannagudi, nestled in the lush green hills of Ooty, a shocking discovery is made—human remains are unearthed during the demolition of an old, abandoned house set to be replaced by a new chocolate outlet. The skeleton is soon identified as Devi, a beautiful and lively young woman who vanished without a trace 20 years ago. At the time, the town believed she had simply run away, but her bones tell a different story—one of murder.

Enter Selvi, a retired investigator known for her sharp mind and unyielding persistence. Though she left the profession years ago, the mystery of Devi’s disappearance intrigues her. With a mix of curiosity and a sense of justice, she takes it upon herself to uncover the truth.

As Selvi digs into the past, she finds that everyone in town has something to hide. The victim’s parents, Rajan and Amutha, had long accepted the idea that Devi had left them behind. Her brother, Jagan, seems strangely reluctant to revisit the past. Her former boyfriend, Victor, once the town’s charming young man, now holds bitter memories. Rosy, Devi’s best friend, carries unspoken guilt. Meanwhile, the powerful town head, Velan, and a retired police officer, Maran, appear to know more than they let on.

With each interview and revelation, suspicion shifts from one person to another. Secrets long buried begin to surface, exposing betrayals, illicit affairs, and old grudges. Just as Selvi believes she is getting closer to the truth, an unexpected turn changes everything.

In a town where memories fade but sins do not, Selvi must decipher the tangled web of lies before the real murderer gets away with it—again.

This story is a suspenseful detective thriller, where the truth remains elusive until the very end.
