Trained To Kill: A Rapid Fire Read by Neelabh Pratap Singh throws us into the high-stakes world of Scorpion Ops, where Rehana Rasool, a highly trained operative, takes on what seems like a simple assignment. Her mission: investigate a local land mafia. But things quickly spiral out of control, revealing a far-reaching web of corruption and deceit. As Rehana digs deeper, the dangers multiply, turning her mission into a life-or-death struggle.
Neelabh Pratap Singh has carved a niche in the thriller genre with his gripping and fast-paced narratives. Known for his previous works in the JV Solanki series, Singh has a knack for creating adrenaline-pumping scenarios. His transition to the Scorpion Ops series keeps the momentum going, delivering a read that’s as explosive as it is compelling.
What makes Trained To Kill stand out is its rapid-fire pace and relentless action. Singh’s writing is designed to keep you on the edge of your seat, with each chapter packing a punch.
