Manav, a bank employee and computer expert, who has zero moral values, finds himself framed for double murder. This too just when he was ready to abscond having defrauded the bank for a huge amount. As he tries to escape the police he is pulled into a deeper conspiracy by a group that offers him escape from the police in return for a job. Soon he finds himself moving from India to Nepal to Pakistan getting neck deep in multiple conspiracies without having an idea who was in which side. On the way he gets beaten, kidnapped and shot at. However that only makes him tougher and he starts turning the tables and how. Avishek has done a great job in making the novel fast paced and full of suroring twists. He also gives good insights on Pakistan, it's public, the terror network and the role ISI plays in running it. A definite page turner.
