Murder Milestone is a crime thriller by Salil Desai, published in 2017. It is the third novel featuring senior police officer Inspector Saralkar, following Killing Ashish Karve and The Body in the Back Seat. Set in Pune, the novel combines a police procedural with psychological suspense and social commentary.

When a wealthy businessman is found murdered near a highway milestone on the outskirts of Pune, Inspector Saralkar is assigned to the case. What initially appears to be a straightforward homicide soon grows into a complex investigation involving hidden motives, family conflicts, business rivalries, and long-buried secrets. As Saralkar follows the evidence, he discovers that nearly everyone connected to the victim has something to hide.

The investigation takes readers through the city's corporate circles, residential neighborhoods, and criminal underworld, where each revelation leads to another twist. Rather than relying on nonstop action, the novel focuses on logical detective work, interviews, forensic evidence, and psychological insights into both the victim and the suspects.
