Prime target - New Delhi Palimpsest 2022 - 404

In 2016, Monk, world’s top assassin, is given a contract to carry out five hits in India – a south Indian mega-star, a Godman, a budding politician and a businessman- followed by the Prime Target.. He succeeds in two, true to his reputation, making them appear as accidents. And he is on to his third, the young Leader of Opposition… As the US and Israel agencies share the intel with India’s PM Purshottam Mehta, NSA Garbhyal forms a task force under Arun Arora and his RAW sentinels who use real-time intel flow to race against a ticking clock and an adversary like never before, while the face of the kingpin unravels… much deeper, much uglier and doubtless lethal. The RAW mavericks, supervised by the NSA, use every trick in the book and all the jugaad outside it to turn the hunter into the hunted, spinning the diabolical conspiracy on its head as they re-define retribution, as PM Mehta allows the ultimate justice to be delivered…. This political thriller leaves the reader wondering how much is fiction and what is pulled out of government archives.
