Description
India’s first thriller with an authentic replication of the Indian political scene and the mercurial relations she shares with her neighbours.
As general elections approach, speculation is rife in New Delhi that the right-wing REP will ride to power with the charismatic Prof Kapre at its head. Sure that this will only have adverse consequences for Pakistan, the CFIO-a secret and powerful department within the Pakistan establishment-hires an assassin to get rid of Kapre. The hitch-RAW’s highest-paid spy is onto them. Action spans the globe in this riveting spy thriller and war of wills.
Will the assassin deliver? Or will the Indian intelligence manage to disrupt his plans? Explosive and suspenseful, Operation Karakoram is a page-turner till the very end.
