Reminded me of the movie "Gabbar Is Back"
The vigilant team named FOG is murdering corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. CBI is trying to solve the case. Few twists and turns were original which were not common with movies.
Nice read if you love to read thriller and suspense.

Power doesn't corrupt poeple, People corrupt power - William Gaddis

This story relates us to the merciless murder of a member of parliament which shocked the nation and reason behind this murder appeared very strange. Some videos of the slaughter of several corrupt politicians go viral on social media, those who found themselves untouchable were scurrying for cover.

Jagan Jigyasi and CBI team were racing against time to stop the killings and arrest the criminal. Every person who was murdered was into corruption.
Under whom all the murders were taken place? Will send the CBI be able to catch the culprit? What was the reason behind this brutal murder? Why the culprit was only aiming the people who were into corruption?
To know the whole suspensive plot do grab the copy and have a thriller imaginary read.
Fear of God, this story revolves around different crimes, which were taken place under FOG. Mystery and suspense was till the end. Author's thought behind this whole plot was nice. He has well researched about politics and corruption and scripted his imagination into words. Characters were well portrayed. Storyline was thrilling, suspensive till end and quite interesting. Language was lucid. The title matched the storyline. Cover was eye-catching portrait for the readers who love thriller, crime and mystery.

"The truth was, one wanted to see oneself as the good guy. Anything that proved that one was not the good guy was attacked, criticized and destroyed by them" - Vadhan
Fear of God is a book about an India that is steeped in corruption and the birth and effects of vigilante justice.
This book was captivating from the get go, my mind couldn't help but draw on the vivid images depicted within, it was gory, bloody but realistic all the same. The legal jargon within the book was elaborated perfectly making it understandable for one not well versed with Indian law and statutes. The characters of Abhimanyu and Vel Murugan were written to absolute perfection. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat, unsuspecting till the end.
In this brutal world of today where everything seems to be falling apart around us and the divide keeps growing, Fear of God potrays the fact that vigilantism doesn't seem like a far reality. The author sheds ample light on the conundrum of whether vigilante justice is the right way to surpass the procedures established by law to overcome the injustice prevalent within the country.
If you're looking for a gripping muder mystery with a light dose of political drama, look no further Fear of God ticks all them boxes.

Although the idea of this book isn't new (vigilante justice), the execution is impeccable. In fact, it's one of the best Indian crime thrillers that I've come across and won't be surprised if it is adapted as a movie/TV series.
There are a lot of hints dropped throughout the narrative and you may think you've figured out the mystery, but the climax makes it extra special.
If you are looking for a fast paced, action packed crime thriller, go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Fear of God is a fast paced political drama. The book is full of twists and turns which keeps the readers on the edge.
Corrupt politicians are being brutally killed and the videos of their barbaric slaughter are being posted on various social media platforms, for everyone to see, with a serial number.
There is chaos among the politicians and each one is scurrying for cover. But this time, the vigilante announces the next target. A war hero who took three bullets for the country presently a top constitutional lawyer. Why is he a target?
CBI has been called in to investigate the number murders. A team of 5 top notch officers headed by Jagan Jigyasi are in a race against time to stop the killings.
The team's hardwork pays and they get a major breakthrough in the case but the vigilante is ten steps ahead of them. Will the CBI successfully put a stop on the killings? What buried facts will resurface? Why is the war hero on target?
Do read this page turner to uncover the truth and experience the high profile political drama set in the country.
The book has a myraid of characters which at times gets confusing but the author makes sure to give a closure to each of them which is commendable. The author manages to keeps the plot intact throughout the book despite the various tracks going simultaneously and their merger towards the end is jaw-dropping. A couple of plot twists did become predictable yet the author keeps the story engaging enough to turn the pages through. The language is lucid and jargons used are explained succinctly. This could definitely be a good storyline for a block-buster bollywood thriller.

.
🌿This was one of the best thrilles I read this year, I am untik the end I was completely speechless, how it can be so so good? The story is complex but not difficult to understand, it's so gripping and intriguing at the same time. I am a fan of the writing style and the best part is, I am so well acquainted with the author's writing style, his previous still has an impact on me. I was comfortable throughout, it's a fast paced thriller with cops that will make you think and think throughout. Jagan is a character to admire, right from the the beginning I was so much glued to it. .
Few things are worth appreciating, just like the humour and drama are added to keep it fluffy, thrill is maintained. There are no errors, writing is moderate and nothing is overdone. Moves softly with a lot of adrenaline rushing and gushing here and there. I will highly recommend it to everyone, just too good. .

Just brilliant!!!!!
July 20, 2020
One of the worst books I've ever read. Can't even imagine how the book got such a good rating on major online platforms. The author has to improve a lot in narrating the 'story line' which does not keep the reader engaged in this case. A mundane story added with few confusing characters just to fill up the pages.Totally disappointed Vadhan sir and I promise you, that I would never ever pick up your writings.
Thank you.
Thank you.

"Fear of God" - fast paced thriller & a gripping narrative ..
Excellent plot, characterization and pace is what keeps one hooked on to the book. Characters are multi faceted .. much like you see in real life.
Although vigilantism is a plot which have been explored in many books & films over the period of years, this story is fresh. The freshness is chiefly on account of Vadhan's writing style.
It starts as a story of an ordinary man who seeks justice in a corrupt system and wants to set things right by handing out direct judgments to the high profile corrupts. He meets like minded people and forms a group. You are almost sure who the "Vigilante' is and there is a twist in the tale, then you think of someone else as the real "Hero" and then there is another twist .. What starts as a story of an ordinary man ends as a story of a not so ordinary man ! Vadhan succeeds to keep the reader on the edge .. always ..
Having said that, couple of points which would have made my experience more delightful:
1. Length - the book is a bit too lengthy. Genuinely, it could have been better edited. There are portions which could have been dropped from the final cut.
2. Names of the characters - some are too familiar and some are too rhyming .. More generic names would have made a whole lot of difference..
Overall .. would recommend for people who want to read a gripping murder mystery !

"If we don't sanitize the country before we hand it over to the generation coming after us, imagine what they will get as a legacy. That's the leadership we must display. We cannot afford to hand them over all the mistakes we made. So I decided to do some housekeeping." - Vadhan
The 1st few pages left me expecting a story that would be similar to some of the bollywood movies based on vigilantism. But as the story progressed, I was unexpectedly & pleasantly surprised as the similarities ended there itself. There were so many twists & turns in the story that just when you think you know what will happen next, there is another twist that leaves you wondering once again. Not just the plot but the characters were also quite beautifully written, both major & minor ones. The attention given to even the smaller details about the characters made them more endearing. Overall the book was a very entertaining read!
If thrillers are something you love reading then you should definitely give this book a try. I assure you that, you will not be disappointed at all.

The story starts with the brutal murder of politicians and videos of torturing them went viral on social media. Central Bureau of Investigation is involved in finding the culprit.
There is a lot of twists and turns. This book will surely keep you hooked until the end.
The cover of this book does justice with the plot and the title is appropriate.
Characters are properly developed.
For me, the plot was not new as I have read similar stories earlier so it was quite predictable. But I loved the way how the author has woven the entire story.

Review
.
🔱 It is believed that Kalki, the tenth avatar of Lord Vishnu is yet to manifest on earth. At the end of Kali Yuga, when Adharma will be at its peak at that time the tenth avatar of Lord Vishnu will come to restore cosmic order.
.
🔱 But this book is not about that. This story is about a vigilante who gets tired waiting around for the Lord and takes matters into his own hands.
.
🔱 He goes about meting his own brand of justice on the all the people who consider themselves above tha law while instilling a Fear of God in everybody's heart.
.
🔱 But this does not go down well with a our own heros who still believe in the system. Thus they band together in an effort to nab him.
.
🔱 What follows is a cat and mouse chase between an unique set of foes each determined to uphold the right in their own way.
.
🔱 The book is an amazing read throughout filled with enough suspense to hold its ground against any Bollywood movie. But the clincher is the reveal which leaves your jaws unhinged.😲

"Color is an illusion.
There is only one color: Black. Anything that is not black is colored to corrupt black." ✨
These are some of my favorite lines from the book. ✨
I was hooked from the first chapter of the book. Even though the story is a lot like a Bollywood/Tollywood movie, you have to read this book. It has all the elements a book sucker needs. Well written characters, twists outsmarting the readers and much more. Also, I loved the way the way the author has detailed every scene. ✨
At first, I thought the name of the book didn't justify the story but as I read more, it made more sense why it is named Fear of God. ✨
This action packed crime thriller was a good read. I did get bored while reading laws and more laws. ✨
Honestly, I would like to see a movie based on the book. ✨
I have the signed copy and I also have met Mr. Vadhan and he is an awesome guy
PS - The sequel is coming too and I know the title😛 ✨

Fear of God by Vadhan is a fast-paced, racy thriller novel. I took 4 days to complete it. Im a fast reader...but... 👌👌👌👏👏👏
As a reader, I was wowed by the excellent plot, characterization and general flow of the book. The multilayered characters kept me hooked.
There were portions where I felt the plot went off track but these didnt harm the general interest in the book. I kept returning to it.
Some portions could have been better edited but again these didn't hamper the flow.
That said, a couple of points I observed, which would have made my experience perfect:
1)Cover - The cover just doesn't make the cut. The brilliance in writing is no match to the cover design.
2)Length - The book was too long (for me). I felt it could have been a bit shorter.
I am not a great fan of vigilantism but this book did make me recollect some incidents of corruption that I have faced...not a very pleasant experience.
Do read it. 👍

Always a fan of fast-paced thrillers whether it comes to series or books. 'Fear of God' is a fantastic action-packed thriller.
I was really attracted to the title of the book & the blurb sparked some more interest! I had to pick the book. The story begins on a very promising note and the reader is glued all through the book. It only gets interesting.
The writing style is very fine & has zero grammatical errors. The pace is maintained till the end and gives the reader some chills & nail-biting moments. The characters are like the icing on the cake to this wonderfully crafted storyline.
Truly gripping, this book is worth your time, do give it a read. I'd rate this one a 4.5/5* and would recommend it to everyone.

Book Title: Fear of God
Author: Vadhan
Format: Kindle
Book Title:
The title of the book ' Fear of God ' is mystical and intriguing.
Book Cover:
The cover image of the book is of a man with a hood and a rifle in hand. There is also a superimposed image of a window hit by a bullet. The whole setup gives a thrilling feeling.
My review:
As years passed and my thirst for reading aggravated, my interest in exploring various genres of books has become invariably interesting. I have always been a fan of love stories and drama. But somehow for a few years, my interest is drawn towards mysteries and thrillers. Since that point, my search has become very exclusive. I have read some very good thrillers, murder mysteries and psychological thrillers in 2019 and was a little skeptical as the new year approached.
After reading a few international titles like The Silent Patient and The Better Sister in the month of January, I have been craving to read an action-packed adventure thriller that also has a shade of political mystery. It is such a magical coincidence that the book ' Fear by God ' came to me sooner than I expected. In simple words, I can say this is one of the many best books I have received from Team Storizen to review.
With a very nicely written story and especially the climax which will stay in mind for long, this thriller from Author Vadhan is a must-read. It starts with the killing of an M.P. and becomes a sensation when the killing video is exposed to the public.
The book having some 350 pages is not just a story but also at certain points questions the reader's conscience in the worldly matters that reign the human life. The present scenario of the Indian Political system, the injustice that is going on in every department, the stiffness that a citizen faces due to social pressure and the adverse effects of wrongdoings on common people who take drastic and dangerous steps to balance the imbalance in the society are illustrated fantastically.
I would be the very first person to feel very happy if this story is turned into a web series or a full-fledged movie. The story is such strongly written that it has all the elements to fit into the big screen.
What I like:
1. The extremely gripping storyline
2. The subplots that create a great nigger story
3. The strong characterizations of certain characters in the story are worth mentioning.
4. The targets that the killer chooses is very thrilling
5. The complete setup of Police, Judiciary and Politics are very interestingly intertwined in the story.
6. The very concept of God being used to create a sense of fear is very well used.
What I didn't like:
This racy thriller never gave a chance to point out any flaws.
Characters:
Jagan Jigyasi is a character who is easily heroic and extremely likable. Especially this character need not woo the readers. He being the CBI officer itself creates a magic in the story and eloquently wins the hearts. This character is calm, severe, and strong and would create more magic if this book turns into a movie. All the other characters are quite captivating and built well.
Narration:
Fear of God is racy, stunning and fast-paced. At an interval of some pages, there is something new that is in waiting for the readers. To maintain this amount of interest in a book with 300+ pages is absolutely a Herculean task. Author Vadhan has immensely captured the reader's attention in this aspect.
Language & Grammar:
The story is written in a normal and colloquial English language with a good amount of vocabulary that makes the book to be read in a single sitting.
My Final Verdict:
Extremely captivating and a ' must to be adopted into a movie ' type story
Book Title: 3/5
Book Cover:3/5
Plot: 4/5
Characters: 4/5
Narration:4/5
Language & Grammar:4/5
Final Rating:4/5

https://blog.medhaapps.com/2020/02/bo...
High profile politicians are killed and videos of brutally torturing them before their inimitable death are released under the pseudonym FearOfGod on Social Media. No clues left, no witness, some even kidnapped between high security. The voice in the videos explains the crimes and corruption committed by these politicians and justifies murdering them. The Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) is quickly brought aboard to investigate and stop the crimes before more dead bodies surface. Common citizens, media are divided for and against the vigilante who is scaring all corrupt politicians and bureaucrats to fall in line, while the law enforcing departments are concerned about situation going out of control. However, the entire investigation takes a 360 degree turn when an ex-army man and now a successful lawyer Abhimanyu Rao is named by FearOfGod as the next target. Will the smart heads at the CBI be able to find why Mr Rao is being targeted by the vigilante and will they be able to find the culprit forms the rest of the story.
Vigilantism and people who resort to violence in the name of terminating morally wrong individuals is a topic that will forever lead to unending discussions. This is one topic which was relevant few decades ago and might still be important even after a hundred years. This story starts as any other suspense thriller with politicians executed ruthlessly but very smartly by a person who wants to make corrupt people change for fear of death. It picks pace once the CBI team is formed and investigation is conducted like any other crime, with a twist, that this case is very complicated, and the investigating agency struggles to makes progress. The narrative turns very gripping once Abhimanyu Rao comes onto the CBI’s radar.
What ensues is not any ordinary cat and mouse chase between the investigators and the culprit as the author builds the story in a very intelligent way. The mind games FearOfGod plays with the CBI are truly engrossing; while there are subtle clues left by the author, the reader is left guessing at each twist in the story. With each revelation, the reader is as much forced to read further to know what lies ahead, as the urge to go back and see how it all fell into place. The suspense is not let down even once and the author does not waste time glorifying or demeaning any of the players involved.
The ending also hints at a probable sequel which I am very excited to watch out for. The language, vocabulary and pace of the story are all worth applauding. An absolute page turner, I absolutely loved reading this suspense thriller and would highly recommend for all book lovers who love some high adrenaline rush.

When the system is going to collapse, then someone has to come to save it. Maybe even god or someone who belongs to.⠀
.⠀
Corruption, scams, unethical activities are at peak in India.Leaders are busy in filling their pockets.Exploitation of the public is at its peak.Dissatisfaction is bound to arise in such a situation. But anyone have not courage to stand up against the corrupt system and speak about it.Uncover the scams and punish the criminals.⠀
. ⠀
Abhimanyu Rao, a professional lawyer, is threatened with killing.This threat threatens those who have murdered the first 3 influential people.Accused is the fear of God. An unknown vigilante who has come into the public eye by punishing selfish people in his own way.For somebody, he is the Messiah and for else a riminal.But the goal is only one: to punish those who deceive and exploit the public.⠀
. ⠀
The subject of curiosity among the public through its unique murder style and social activities is plaguing the FOG security agencies.Suspicion is evident on the people of exploration, but it is very difficult to prove who is the real culprit.The FOG continues its work until the fear of God sits in the minds of the accused.This is his motive.⠀
. ⠀
The book begins with the murder of Prakash kumar followed by another murder.The search for fear of God ends in doubt and the end part opens the secret but in a unique way.⠀
. ⠀
The formation of this book is in parts. Each part covers a different story regarding chronological order of working of FOG. With lots of twist & turns the story proceed in fluent manner and the suspense remains till the last. The way FOG uncovers the scams and victims and after the half part, the search of FOG is full of mystery & thrill.Everyone is suspected.Trails in court are held and finally it is hard to uncover who is FOG but a surprise in the last when true FOG uncovers.⠀
Truly I like the book.It is a full of thrill & suspense.The language is catchy and story is good. Characters are familiar like typical indian movies have which makes good grip of the plot. Cover and title is also perfect. & the thing I liked most: the concept of FOG. ⠀
Overall I likes this book. ⠀

4.5🌟 for brilliantly written story. ⠀

Fear of God is a Powerful, twisting thriller story that’s full of dark and deeply moving story of vigilante, who dins fear in corrupt Politicians, Bureaucrats, Corporates and Lawman. It is a profound exploration of the many departments of the common man relies upon and the impossibility of ever unveiling truths of it – especially with the same corruption stories on wheels. The Story set in Hauz Khas Village when Prakash Kumar, Member of Parliament gets kidnapped by an unknown person right under the nose of security details and the killing video goes viral, thus caught the attention of the whole nation. Thereby follows a sequence of brutal murders of corrupted politicians, corporates etc. leaving a clue of the advocate of who and why is he the target?
First off major trigger warnings for ghastly numbered murders and Gun Violence. The writing style of the author will make the readers absorb into the story throughout and gives the mass amounts of information. I found myself wanting to know more of the next target of the assassin while the Joint director of CBI works on his perspectives and the police officials who solved the clues tirelessly, dealt the case unbiasedly, to uncover the secret lies behind the corrupts of being a victim and I couldn’t put down the book.
What piqued my interest the most are the parts: when the crime and legal details draw in, the illustrations of the stand of socioeconomic status of people of India were made distinct, the glimpse of how Indian judicial system works, the cleverness of lawyers getaway’s, and the whole process of solving the case by the State and CBI are quite commendable. The characterisation of Protagonists and the way of mending the subplots while making the revelations, and when the mysteries seeps in were extremely thrilling and unconventional. The Pace and the relentless grip of the flow of the thoughts in storytelling got this book the best. I loved how the author gives a definitive challenge to make sense of what you anticipate from this story and wonder about what the characters give away. Overall, this is both the gripping page-turner and a sensitive portrait of the status of the nation.

Have you ever experienced a morning cup of tea that has just now freshen up your mind and suddenly a piece of news ruins your entire mood balancing the good taste of tea to the bad phenomenon of people.
The news could be about a political leader who are chosen to build the nation but end up spoiling it fulfilling their own needs, working for self and dismantling all the laws without fear. The news could be anything but when this will come to an end, is the question to ponder.
Well, think of it, if a piece of news can ruin your mind have you ever thought since how long such cases have been ruining your nation?
Have you ever felt, how helpless you are even knowing the reasons of so many "Whys"?
Well, this is what #FOGs thought process could be when he decides to punish such leaders who have bent, broken, dismantled and disrespected law.
#FOG, The #FearOfGod one of the ordinary man turned into a vigilante doing high profile murders, challenging system on the biggest platform of social media were videos went viral of the victim were he was left to die.
The system suddenly woke up and Mr. Jigyasi, and his team of brilliant five were deployed to investigate the case. The struggle they faced and brainstorm they did to catch #FOG was amazing. Their brainstorming discussions were something that involved me in the case itself investigating me as a cop.
The book includes multiple characters and author has mentioned role and background descriptively to each one of them. Every character has something to tell you, a back story, and you start knowing the character a bit more.
I would appreciate the author for illustrating each and every crime scene so beautifully that one could really imagine and feel it.
The story ends up leaving you with a question to decide. Well, to know the question you must go and check out the book.

Why do humans argue? Life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing.
In this contemporary world of ours full of lies & deceit everywhere, there's no future. There's no past. So what do you see eventually?
We blame the almighty for everything. But in actual reality, it's not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us sadly. Only us the so-called humans thriving on violence & fake egos.
Look at the sky through smoke heavy with human pollution & God was not there.
So we eventually realise that real life is messy, inconsistent, and it's seldom when anything ever really gets resolved.
The story is crafted for ordinary common man who out of frustration from seeing corruption everywhere in the country seeks out to pick up his own way of giving justice to the sins/crimes. It all begins when high profile corrupt politicians are killed brutally. Later, their videos of inhumane torture just before they breathe their last are released under the pseudonym FearOfGod on Social Media which instills fear among the other culprits.
Writing style is genuinely good, simple & easy to understand. Narration is okay. Language is simple & is interesting. Synchronisation is well achieved. Writing style is good accompanied with a good command over vocabulary. Characterisation is balanced. Basically it's a rip-off of intense tollywood/bollywood action drama movies made into a suspense gory thriller portraying justice which has been infused well enough - packed with lots of action! Overall, a good unbiased attempt to write a fiction book based on a story what already exists in the form of Tamil/Telugu/Kannada movies. However, storywise it's nothing new when we talk with regard to novels. Recommended to those who love tollywood/bollywood action movies.

Fear of God is a wonderful crime thriller. The plot of the book is wonderfully crafted with the story taking many twists and turns. The theme of vigilantism in the book has been dealt with quite deftly. The suspense part of the book is maintained till the last page and that is what makes this book an unputdownable read. The author has chosen each of the victims in detail and the back story of each of them is narrated so that the reader gets to connect with the protagonist easily. The description of the crimes is in detail and at times, is quite gruesome. The legalities in the book are quite nicely done which adds to the beauty of the storytelling. The chase of the vigilante and the smokescreens are amazingly done and put at strategic locations to keep the tempo up. The climax of the book is quite unexpected, and the last part of the book just blew my mind away.
Talking about characters, being a suspense thriller, the character buildup of each of the characters was very crucial. The protagonist, FOG, has been created as an enigma initially, a person to be feared, a ruthless vigilante. As the story progresses, and things start getting clearer, we get the character arc of FOG and I loved the way it was unraveled till the last page. The character buildup of Jagan Jigyasi was interesting as we saw multiple shades of him. I specially loved the character build up and the back story of ACP Vel as his development was a surprise element. The other characters are developed in quite detail as well and they add their own flavor to the plot.
Overall, Fear of God, was a wonderful journey through the mind of a Vigilante and how society can change the personality and the mindset of a person.

The brutal murder of a Member of Parliament has shocked the nation. The reason for the murder appears bizarre.
As videos of the slaughter of several corrupt politicians go viral on social media, those who considered themselves untouchable are scurrying for cover.
The vigilante’s next target is a war hero and top constitutional lawyer who took three bullets for the country.
Why then is he a target?
Jagan Jigyasi and his Special Crimes Division of the CBI have to race against time to stop the killings.
The legendary lawman has never failed to solve a crime.
The war hero is as brilliant in a courtroom as he is fearless in facing a speeding bullet.
The vigilante is as devious as he is effective in instilling the fear of God into those who think they are above the law!
Who will be the last man standing?
Fear of God by Vardhan is a nail biting thriller. Story revolves around a person, Fear of God also known as FOG. FOG aims to kill all the corrupted politicans. Storyline is unique, it is not only dark but gripping as well. All the characters are suspicious, captivating and have been built well. It's a true page turner.
Narration is fast paced, making it a one- sit read. Although the characters are built well but I personally felt there were too many characters but if you delve deep into the story you would be able to find a perfect connection amongst each one.
Putting an intricate plot doesn't seem to be an effort for the author but planning the content cogently and building a proper story is where the story stands apart.
For me it was an unputdownable thriller and I would rate it 4.5 🌟 on a scale of 5.

A book on vigilantism is rare to come by .... and a thriller is an icing on the cake!
It is story born out of frustration from seeing corruption creeping out of every nook and corner of the country of India and that’s not in a nascent stage ... it is rampant and the exploiters are none other than the ones handling the law and ruling the country.
So a common well read man decides to take the onus of correcting the system and considers himself cleansing the political grounds for the future generation .
The plot is unique and keeps the interest piqued right from the initial few pages. There are quite a number of characters and at the start it might gets a little overwhelming ... however the build up of the protagonists and antagonists is quite extensive which gives us a deep insight of the perspective from everyone’s side.
There is also a lot of legal details to back up each case that leads to twists and turns in the story and might be a good read for law students.
The methods of crime and details are quite gory and the story is a good food for thought about where a country is headed if the situation with corruption goes out of control. The methods are by no means promoted or supported but the protagonist is forced to resort to this for effective solutions out of power!
Overall, it’s a good book, a little lengthy owing to the valid details. Definitely worth a read
Please go and read if you are looking for a fast paced thriller with a social issue as a backdrop
Thanks @readerstribe for providing the opportunity of a wonderful author’s meet !

My Review :
#qotd Is “Fear of God” a thing of the past or does it still exist?
Prakash Kumar a politician’s son and party to some scams is kidnapped and murdered, his crime being a corrupt public servant. The video is leaked over twitter and becomes viral. On further investigation the agencies have only one clue a girl who is seen on video with Prakash but they fail to come to conclusion if she was just an innocent bystander or a staged artist as she vanishes into thin air.
A vigilante is on a killing spree and every murder turns more gruesome with carving numbers, its a countdown for a cat and mouse chase that entails after few murders with some or the other crime/scam associated with the victims.

My Review :
#qotd Is “Fear of God” a thing of the past or does it still exist?
Prakash Kumar a politician’s son and party to some scams is kidnapped and murdered, his crime being a corrupt public servant. The video is leaked over twitter and becomes viral. On further investigation the agencies have only one clue a girl who is seen on video with Prakash but they fail to come to conclusion if she was just an innocent bystander or a staged artist as she vanishes into thin air.
