Assassins – S. Hussain Zaidi

Description

From his plush hideaway in Bangkok, underworld don Shakti Pillai is wreaking havoc amongst India’s wealthy.

He wields modern technology to extract information and extort money from billionaires while continuing to take on contract killings for anyone who can afford his price. Fed up with the police force’s inability to stop the don, some of India’s biggest business magnates pool in their crores and hire a mercenary to get rid of him. They recruit the best in the game, an assassin known only as Venus.

She is not the only one on this job, though. Pillai has made a number of powerful enemies, and there are other plans in motion to nab India’s most-wanted mobster—a ruthless police inspector who is an encounter specialist, Pillai’s former mentor in the gangland, and others who look at Pillai as their big ticket to success. All are out to capture the don. Each one of them has something to prove. As all the players converge in Bangkok, a thrilling cat-and-mouse game ensues.

Who will win? Will Pillai slip away as he always has?

An unputdownable page-turner from the master of the underworld novel.
