Synopsis: Maali Almeida, a war photographer, finds himself in a purgatory-like afterlife after being killed in Sri Lanka's civil war. To escape this limbo, he must use his photographic skills to identify the culprits behind a murder and send the evidence to the right person. With only seven days and a series of increasingly bizarre challenges, Maali races against time to uncover the truth and find redemption.

Blurb: A darkly comic and thought-provoking novel that blends magical realism with political satire. With its sharp wit and unflinching portrayal of war's horrors, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is a powerful exploration of identity, morality, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
