Review-

This is undoubtedly one the best works of the author. The writing style is very eloquent and crisp and the author possesses that rear quality of keeping his readers on the edges of their seats till the end of the novel.The plot is well-researched and realistic.

I particularly like the way the author has narrated every little move of the protagonist, the way he thinks and act on different situations, in detail which provides the readers an opportunity to peep into the mind of the protagonist. Even the action scenes are designed in such vivid detail,you will feel like you are watching a movie.

The novel is based on the thriller genre and I love the fact that the author has taken a balaced approach in dealing with both romance and suspense which makes it utterly enjoyable to read.Besides, no single character has given any extra importance and all the characters contributes equally to the story.

Another thing I personally liked the most is the way the author has portrayed the conflict here, whether it is the outer conflict and tension between India and Pakistan or the inner-conflict of the protagonist, the author has done a really good job.Infact,  it is the inner-conflict which makes the protagonist so dear to us.

I give this book 4.5 stars out of 5 and recommend it to those who has a penchant for suspense-thriller novels.

Happy Reading
