Blurb

With the arrest of a local arms dealer, Keshav Thakur, the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), India’s external intelligence agency, is alerted about a plot to abduct the country’s top nuclear scientist, Hamid Ansari, who is in possession of a unique nuclear fusion formula.

Meanwhile, a military coup topples the democratic government of Myanmar. And a novel overriding device called Vita, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), India’s top defence agency, is stolen.

And so begins a race against time for R&AW’s top agents, Vikram Aditya Singh and Ranbir Roy, through the power centre of the country, Delhi; the labyrinthine markets of Kathmandu; the failed state of Myanmar; the historic town of Multan, Pakistan; and the verdant coffee estates of south India.

With the dice loaded against them and time fast running out, Vikram and Ranbir will need to pull out all stops to get to the bottom of seemingly disparate mysteries: Who is the shadowy figure pulling the strings and just how far does his reach extend? Is Hamid Ansari truly what he seems? What deep conspiracy is Pakistan’s finance minister involved in?

Fasten your seatbelts for Siddharth Maheshwari’s thrilling ride through the shadowy world of power and espionage.

My Opinion


In love with this book. "Veil of Shadows" is a riveting political thriller that hooks readers right from the outset. The story revolves around a high-stakes conspiracy artfully crafted by the author, involving the theft of a highly dangerous hacking device and the abduction of a prominent nuclear scientist. As the brave RAW agents launch into action, the narrative takes us on a heart-pounding journey spanning the borders of Pakistan, India, and Myanmar.

Maheshwari expertly layers the narrative with suspicion, making it nearly impossible to pinpoint the mole lurking within RAW or any other agency. This constant tension keeps readers engaged, turning pages eagerly to uncover the truth.

The novel's ability to seamlessly intertwine seemingly disparate elements culminates in a surprising and immensely satisfying climax. "Veil of Shadows" surpasses all expectations, leaving readers spellbound by its sheer brilliance. For an adrenaline-pumping tale of espionage, intrigue, and suspense, this book is an absolute must-read.
