ABOUT
THE BOOK

A terrorist attack of world-shaking proportions blasts open this tale of a Sri Lankan terror group with a deadly secret it desperately wants to hide. Hunted by special forces, the terrorists take Sri Lanka’s war to the streets of Europe and North America. Highly trained killers race against the clock and each other as violent strategies unfold at heart-stopping speed. Car bombs, high-level assassinations, and an international hijack stun the world, while an Indian naval task force brings Sri Lanka and South Asia to the brink of total war. At the centre of it all, the spymasters on both sides pull their strings in a fast-paced, tightly-woven novel, which was short listed for the Graetien Prize in 2005 and is guaranteed to keep you racing long into the night.
