Are all the con men bad in nature? Is their main purpose to make money and nothing else? If your answer is YES to any of these or all, you must read this novel.

A novel which has been written to make a common man understand as to why there is no peace on Earth today. As an educated lot, few of u know as to why the war and invasion takes place - which is either for Oil or Arms.

We also hate our neighbour Pakistan and so as them despite being the fact that we were once a united nation. Bangladesh and Burma are no exceptions. Why would a nation like US try to broker peace between us? Don't we see their real intentions?

Through this book, author ha brought out the darker side of the so called super powers and how a con man named Kabir who is the protagonist of the story tries his best to teach them a lesson. A story well written that will make you read at one stretch but having said that, you should read it as a human being without being aligned to any religion - in fact, author has emphasised on this in the very beginning of he book.

Grab your book. Read it. You will understand the reality and would appreciate the efforts taken by the author to put up such big conspiracies in a simple way.

“Con Kabir” is a book by Vinod Gairola (though he prefers to remain as ‘Anonymous’, and because of this reason, there’s not a single place in the book where the author name is mentioned). Thanks to the author for writing this book.
The cover of the book looks really good and it is justifying the story completely.
The title “Con Kabir” along with the subtitle ‘Experience another side of terrorism’ is exactly apt as per the story of the book.
The language is simple and lucid and easy to comprehend. Author has narrated each and every stage of the story in a simple way. Most of the situations have been covered by dialogues and conversations, and that makes it easy for reader to catch up the flow of the story.
The theme of the book is crime thriller along with strong bonding of friendship.
All the characters of the story played their respective role aptly till the very end of the book and justified themselves according to the demand of the story. I’d like to mention the name of 3 main characters of the book and the plot revolves around them. They are Kabir- A secret service agent of Indian Government, Ali- An International most wanted terrorist, and Ankur Malik- ACP of Delhi Police, Crime Branch.
This book contains the story and journey of two childhood close friends Kabir and Ali. It’ all about their sheer fight against crime to make the nation corruption free by reaching the source and depth of the terrorism. But they did it in different way. The story goes like this- ACP Ankur Malik and Sunny who was a crime journalist of BBC Group got interacted with each other in a plane and after some primary conversation they had, ACP Malik got to know a lots of important detail information and about the mysterious Con who was the main culprit of some major Con incidents that did happen in various places in different unique ways previously. The interesting part is that the target of Conman was mainly NRIs! After getting the hints and then some strong evidence about the Conman and his next plan, ACP Malik was determine to hook him and was quite sure about that. But there a twist came when Kabir, the Conman himself did surrender to ACP Malik and confessed about his previous cons and details and about the reasons. But why did Kabir choose to surrender himself? What was going on his mind? Did he give up his motto? Or there was something bigger he up to? Is this the end of all Cons and everything or something more is awaiting ahead? Will ACP Malik be successful in his mission? Well that is the rest of the story and you have to get these answers by yourself.
Author has crafted the plot well and there is quite interesting twists that made readers engrossed themselves in this book. But the plot could have been more gripping I’d like to say. But still it’s quite good and happening. Author has done quite a lot of thorough research about the terrorists and their source and agenda and other reasons of crimes to give the touch of actual life to this story. The conversation at first between Sunny and ACP, while discussing about the main reason of the war and their sources, has touched me and I really got new vision about this particular topic. The way author cleared the concept about what religion was and their views related to these is really very essential to know for all. The different techniques of the Cons and the mind game he portrayed by the Conman is something really highly commendable. He has presented the real face of the society and the original reason behind this war and terrorisms and their way of action very clearly with bear eyes. The plot at the end went so interesting that I was literally glue to the book to see how it ends and where. As all the mystery and everything got revealed at the end, it’s very satisfying I must say. I am really looking forward to go through it’s next part. I’d love to recommend it to all specially who are fond of a different type of crime thriller. Thank you.

Title: Con Kabir

Subtitle: Experience Another Side Of Terrorism

Author: Vinod Gairola

Publishers: Leadstart Publishers

Edition: First

Publication Date: 22nd February 2017

ISBN-13: 9789352015542

Number Of Pages: 178

“Every common man has to wake up and understand what is going on in their surroundings. Do not just follow the media, but should start their own research.”

Have you ever wondered why India is lagging behind all the other countries? Have you ever wonder why the crime rate in India is higher than its neighbouring countries? It’s because of corruption and black money, illegal trades and callousness. Con Kabir by Vinod Gairola is a crime thriller that not only narrates the story of the con Kabir but also highlights multiple themes in an attempt to diminish the amount of crime taking place in India.

Blurb:

Story is about two friends, protagonist Kabir who is from India and Ali who is from Pakistan. Both spent their childhood days in Australia. After completing his higher secondary education from Australia, Kabir went to Europe for his further studies. After 10 years Kabir is a secret service agent of Indian Government and Ali is an international most wanted terrorist. Now the book is about why and how Kabir will save his friend who is terrorist now.

Review:

The entire story of the book revolves around two main characters- Kabir and Ali. The first half of the book describes the journey of Mr. Malik where he meets a crime reporter Sunny and they both discuss two major con incidents that took place in the past. With all the information, Mr. Malik sets on his journey to trace the Conman Kabir. To his surprise, Kabir surrenders to him and confesses his crime to him. What is he up to? Was he really guilty or was he implementing his next plan of action? The language of the book was lucid and straightforward. The author has used mostly dialogues to narrate the entire story. There are many events that take place in the middle of the story that becomes confusing at a stage. The story starts on a note of suspense and ends very perfectly, unfolding all the suspense. The narrative style was gripping. The characterization was weak. There were a few editing errors in the book. The title of the book matches well with the theme and reveals the genre of the book. The cover is very catchy and bold like the story. The author’s name was not mentioned anywhere in the book which is a drawback. Overall, this Con Kabir is a thrilling ride that will keep its readers hooked up till the end. I recommend this book to all the readers who are fond of crime fictions.

My Verdicts:
The cover of the novel is well designed and good looking. I recommend this book to all the readers who are fond of crime fictions.
This is the story about two friends, Kabir And Ali. As time passes, One is to become a Secret Service Agent of Indian Govt. ( I.e. Kabir) and the other is a most wanted international terrorist (i.e. Ali). But some twist is there when you go through you will know about it why one became a terrorist and other a secret service agent.
The initial script describes the journey of Mr. Malik where he comes across a crime reporter Sunny and they both discuss two major con incidents that took place in the past. In between Kabir surrender to Mr. Mallick, who is trace Kabir from a long time. Why he do like this, is there any pre-plan of Kabir. Or he really feels guilty. All things, let it be in suspense till you all go through the book. The narrative style was gripping. Simple words are used for this. The author commences on a tone of suspense and ends very perfectly, unfolding all the suspense. The title of the book is fully connected with the theme of the book.
The author name was not mentioned anywhere in the pages which is a drawback. Otherwise con Kabir is a suspense thriller which holds the reader till the end of the story.
Personally waiting for its sequel if author has planned for something on it.

Some books, they just happen to you. Well, I was rather fortunate that #VinodGairola gifted me a book, #ConKabir. It has this really bright, yet brooding cover (Neat job) which caught my fancy immediately. However, I was yet to read it till yesterday. And let me be honest, the book is an absolute page-turner.

Gosh, what a story ... dramatic, powerful and so incredibly addictive. It kept me gripped for 'just one more chapter' until the early hours. A riveting, read-in-one-sitting roller-coaster, I underwent strange confrontations with my own self as I read.

Slickly suspenseful, this fabulously spun thriller gives a reality check, into the darkest recesses of human nature and the hushed-hushed public secrets. Militant outfits, terrorists, undercover agents, the Bermuda triangle, planned attacks, the military, the mafia, the government, politicians, cops and scores of unsuspecting commoners ... phew! This dynamic debut tingles with tantalizing twists, distrust and issues which scream for attention; racism!

A captivating #MustRead it is! A murky, exciting tale of secret societies, death and disorder, of fierce friendships and powerful nations ... of the carefully-careless concealed hypocrisy! The brutal slap of reality which is so on the face ... and yet, there is an elephant in the room. Of controlled media houses and the zionists, this book should be encouraged by being ordered, read and re-read!

#OrderToday to know about the con-man and how you, yes you, and all of us ... aid in world anarchy. Yes, grim as it sounds, each one of us is a pawn in this life game of chess!

Con Kabir is book by Vinod Gairola.

The book cover is distinctive and invites you to uncover the mystery hidden behind it. The book arrests your imagination as you will not be able postulate what is coming up next.

As you open the book it looks like it is a story of two childhood friends who are the victims of racism but few pages later you find that it is an interesting conversation between two intellectuals, about relegion , black money and the unseen face of terrorism. There are three main characters in the book :
Kabir: The protagonist, Really a Conman or??????. Read the book to find out.
Ali: Most wanted terrorist but is he the same at heart? Have a look on the book
ACP Malik, Crime Branch Delhi: He thought it was his plan but actually he himself was used up to execute the plan. Curious??? What are you waiting for, Go grab your copy.

Most of the situations are enveloped in conversations which make it facile for the readers to visualise and tickle their spatial intelligence. The author has operated upon a plain sailing language in order to make it simple to understand for the readers and it is an old saying too that "simple is beautiful"

Though I am not a crime thriller fan but this book has made me interested in the genre. This book is must read for who loves to read Crime thrillers.
Last but not the least, "Anonymous" in place of author's name is actually a unique and interesting approach by the author to make it more appealing.

All in all an excellent book to read.

Kon Kabir by Anonymous is a crime thriller novel. Author has not mentioned his name and identity in the book. This story is about two childhood friends Kabir and Ali and their fight against corruption. This book is interesting enough to hook – up readers.

A conman has made the lives of every rich person difficult as he is targeting them and before they could sense his intentions he does his job and no one was able to catch him. Kabir & Ali two friends from childhood took the mission as to save the society from evil and make it a corruption free peaceful society to live in. The whole story revolves around those two boys until something terrible happens to one the family of Ali and he changes his mind. The secret is revealed at the end of the story which also reveals the main story behind all the robberies.

Author has done a lot of research to write this book which can be been in the story. He has knitted characters well according to the need of the story. The story is also well portrayed and it could have been better if Author had narrated it in more interesting way. The start is able to keep a reader hooked till the end but it lacks formation at some places.

Te cover is all in shades of black and white and a man standing perfectly describing the story inside the book. The title itself tell us what can we expect behind these pages – many robberies.

This book is a good one time read.

REVIEW OF CON KABIR
By an Anonymous
Reviewed by Author Manoj
Verdict: - a thrilling experience
Overall: - 4/5
• CON KABIR, it’s like a masterpiece, because it shows another side of terrorism, yes it really does!!!
• The story unfolds various con activities and thrilling nuisance, so it makes chilling and thrilling experiences to read.
• KABIR protagonist of the story, who played the character and king maker, and control and rolled all over the story.
• Perhaps some terms about terrorism, seems new and may be unimaginable, but it really exists in our world.
• Some spelling mistakes, but where the story awesome, readers could ignore such things.
• Coming to cover, it perfectly matched to the blurb and storyline; and also blurb was quite exciting. Whereas title match the storyline.
• At the climax, may be author try to make a second part, so it looks like incomplete…
Reading experience: - PAISA WASOOL “GRAB THE COPIES!!!!”

The name Con Kabir aptly suits the story. Kabir and Ali are Childhood friends, both living in Australia. Kabir leaves for the UK for higher studies. This is in 2001. Fast forward to 2014, we are given a narrative by ACP Malik about a con man targeting NRIs specifically. The rest of the story is about how he cons people and why he does that. The end twist was a good one.
The author did a good research before writing the book. At times it may be slightly confusing but becomes pretty clear in the end. The narration about a Zionist group, Global religion and how they use money laundering, terrorism for their power is good.
But it contains a lot of grammatical mistakes and sometimes even characters names were misprinted. The story could have been narrated in a much better fashion. And regarding Kabir's cons, you can easily guess what happens further.
On the whole, it was a good read.

Absolutely bakwaas read. Tons of grammatical mistakes, scattered throughout the book. Not at all interesting and overly filmy. Seems like it's written by a 10 year old kid. Abandoning in between. Worst read till date. Have some mercy on yourself by not buying/reading this piece of scrap!! I guess after creating this master scrap, author has realized it and so, removed his/her name and kept it "Anonymous"!

While cleaning my shelf, I got this book, so now I am writing the review in 2024.

This was my first book that I ordered from Amazon and completed reading it
I was only 15 years old at that time.

The book is a good read for beginners
The story is also good.

One problem that I had was with the ending of the story. It could have been better.

Con Kabir, i never thought to read this kind of amazing book, as i only prefer to read Romance genre Books normally, this is first time i read this kind of thrill book. I never thought this book can make place in my favourite book’s list, well I must say Mr. Author has done many research against Mafia’s, and for all those things which related to this. Story of book start with two childhood friend called Kabir and Ali, Kabir were Indian and Ali were Pakistani boy, they lived in Australia they are very close to each other, but as you know still in foreign countries there People’s has very bad point of view against this two countries, which also effects on people’s of this two counties who lived in foreign countries. They never thought to cheat people, but there was something happen with them which changes their mindset against People’s, and they became CON. In this book many serious issues are mentioned which were not disclose to common man.
After reading this book you won’t blame any religion for terrorism, as terrorist don’t have religion. Concept is too good, story line is awesome, You won’t bore while reading this book as in every chapter of this book you will read something unique, and most important thing Suspense creates interests. the best part of this book is, Author of this book prefers to stay anonymous, as he believes if there is no name that would not connect him to any religion. Read this book as a human being and forget your religion until you complete this book

I won this book in a selfie contest which was held on Facebook & I completed this book in a day. This book kept me engrossed about how the cons were taking place, was eager to know that how the Con man was fooling & how did he manage to do the research alone. Kabir & Ali two friends from childhood took the mission as to save the society on the basis of humanity, until when Ali's mother was raped & his father was trapped in the bank, he changed his mind. Kabir on the other hand was doing everything for the welfare of the society & humanity only! No religion teachs us terrorism. Author has done a lot of research for writing this story as Kabir did.. it is truly said govt & police work under powerful people & the common man suffers ! Overall the main aim of the book it to show the real face of the govt officials & banks who work for arms & ammunitions & the best thing is KABIR FOUNDATION will help us in executing the idea for establishing an NGO & Work for welfare of child education & help the needy.

Must read book & seriously read it as a human being & forget your religion.

I have come to know about this book from a friend, i am not much into reading books that too a crime thriller. At initial i did not show much interest in this book but later after reading few chapter every day I stated getting interest in the plot and then i reached a stage where i decided to complete the book in one go.

Now in a review i just want to say one word. Grab it.

Story is unique, I have never read a story of a con man who is actual an under cover agent. This book has lots of twist. even more than one can expect in a single book. Lots of research which makes the story look real.

Characters are explained very well. I am certainly waiting for the second part which I know will certainly come.

Novels can be kept under various genres like romance , thrill , suspense , horror but yet there are some which cant be termed as bearing any particular kind due to sheer brilliance of all elements it possesses and amalgamation of various sorts. 'Con Kabir' is one such book.
The novel is predominantly about 2 pals- Kabir and Ali. It revolves around their story which begins from their childhood and when their ways make them went apart , how different (read contrasting) their life becomes a few years down the line.
The story is as much a spy as it is a con and that is what pretty likeable about this stuff. It not only narrates a story but also gives useful insights about all the black money fiasco and the rampant corruption prevailing in the society.
The charaterization is given due importance and the pace at which the story moves sometimes lags a bit but all in all a pretty intelligent stuff. Everybody can get something out of it which is the best part.
Looking forward to read more from the author.

Sometimes you think that you know the story as you are on the last chapter but the writer has planned more than what you can imagine. The story was a treat to read, as it had some unique wow factors. But at the same time it created questions in my mind which I don’t want, after the novel is completed. The sub-title of the novel- Experience the other side of terrorism was well played within the novel. It was an intelligent book with a lot of fineness and richness.

Review -

The story revolves around two friends , Kabir and Ali , and their fight towards finding the root of terrorism and saving the nation from corruption and crime . The story proceeds with the wrong ways they adopt to achieve the right target .

The facts described in the story tells the amount of research the author has done to bring the right face of corruption and terrorism in front on the audience . These facts will surely shock the readers who have no idea about what lies under the surface. The characters are perfectly portrayed and the side characters are also interesting.

The plot of the book is unique and the series of interconnected events, robberies and cons will keep you hooked till the end .The climax is the best part that unveils the suspense behind the entire story.

Also, the cover is very apt and goes well with the elements of story but could have been slightly better . The title couldn't have been better than this - CON KABIR . It is very intriguing and perfectly summarises the plot .

This crime thriller tells reader to look at other side before making any judgement . Also the best part is the KABIR FOUNDATION that will help us in establishing NGO for the child education .
I would recommend all the readers to definitely pick this amazing book to know what terrorism is .

Waiting eagerly for the next part in the series .

"Con Kabir" is a unique, thrilling read!

An intriguing, mysterious and electrifying book, "Con Kabir" is one of its kind. It's a crime thriller book where the plot revolves around two childhood friends, Kabir and Ali from India and Pakistan resp. They both resolve to bring peace and root out evil and corruption from the society. Nevertheless, the paths they follow to accomplish their mission is opposite of one another. Where Kabir becomes an agent in Indian Government, Ali turns out to be a terrorist. Con Kabir reveals what happens in lives of these two friends who are walking on paths opposite to each other. Various robberies take place and con men rob rich people in different and unique ways.
The settings of the storyline is perfect with all the essential elements of a crime​ fiction in place. The real facts depicted and research by the author is praiseworthy. The author did not give his identity which intrigued me.

The book is engaging, thrilling and keeps the readers hooked till the very end, however the narration becomes a bit monotonous and streched in the middle. The last few chapters are the most interesting, satisfying and engaging as they reveal the suspense and mystery behind all the robberies and secrets. It gives the readers a different and real view point about what terrorism actually is and what goes on which remains hidden from general public.

Overall, it's a fast paced, page turning thriller. The cover is a mediocre though the title is apt and eye catching.

I would like to rate it as 3.7 out of 5.

An interesting read for crime fiction and suspense lovers! I would like to recommend it to all the readers.

Con Kabir is an exceptional master piece by the anonymous writer. Its been long that such a book has made Influence in the novel world. It was a great experience and realization. The word con made a huge impact on me. The author has awesomely described Kabir's game plan and how he conned people who were playing with the country's safety and making its economy weak. The love between Ali and Kabir has been beautifully depicted how they stood for each others in their hard times and till the end helped each other. The small anecdotes where really eye opening. It shows that the author has really putted his best in this book, done a lot of research to deliver such a book. All novel lovers must try it once. Its a great book.

After reading this book you won’t blame any religion for terrorism, as terrorist don’t have religion. People from every age group should read it & It will teach you humanity comes before Religious psychopathology. I must say you will enjoy it. Worth Read

Review-
Before starting the review I would really like to appreciate the author for his thinking of being an Anonymous.
"CON KABIR" book by Anonymous as author chose it this way is a book which actually proves to show other side of terrorism. I recieved the book just yesterday and I completed it in 6hours. I had stopped reading crime based books by Indian Authors as they didn't contain that magic but this is a pure crime/drama/thriller/emotional mixture. A best book I would suggest for thriller genre. I don't know how few people rated it 1star when this book meets all desires. All the punchlines all the twists are at a great extent. Blurb could have been a little better. This book is based on the corruption government's officials do. The protagonist Kabir and Ali were best friends in their childhood but as time changes Kabir becomes a secret agent and Ali turns into a most wanted terrorist. Both of them has a single motive
The things which I liked the most is the names and title of this book. Will they achieve what they want to? Will wait to see this becoming a blockbuster Bollywood and a part 2 of this mind-blowing book.
