"Terse action scenes, quick pace and brutal energy..."
Crime Fiction Lover Magazine "This is a dark and disturbing tale of revenge, retribution and justice. With a riveting plot and many interesting characters Nikesh Murali takes us through the murky world of sex trafficking and kidnapping. His protagonist is a vengeful father who vows to track down those who had kidnapped and killed his daughter. He is also a killer for hire, a highly trained assassin which makes it all the more worse for his adversaries. The book is unputdownable right from the first page and I wish I could send Virat after every rapist and child molester in this world. I really do like his brand of justice."
