Description

A dead woman. A buried family. A name the island was told to forget.

But some truths don't stay silent—and some names remember you back.

When renowned folklorist Rhea Kaoro is found dead beneath the cliffs of storm-wracked Varuka, her estranged daughter Miri returns to the island she once fled. The official story calls it an accident. Miri isn't convinced.

As monsoon rains close in and suspicion thickens, Miri teams up with Chief Naila Deshmukh, and what they uncover is more dangerous than either expected:

A family erased from Varuka's history A legacy soaked in silence And a name only spoken in whispers… until now.

Set on a haunting fictional island in the Indian Ocean, The Eighth Name is a slow-burning literary mystery about generational silence, identity, and the stories that survive—no matter how hard they're buried.

🌧️ Perfect for readers who love Tana French, Attica Locke, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, and Where the Crawdads Sing
