GO, DIE & COME BACK by MustafaAsad6

Barrels and Clarks. Two elite families in Edinburgh. Everything seemed to be going well until the families fell into the hands of crime. The avarice for power, fame, and wealth turned everyone into monsters, which can go to any extent to wield them. Rich miscreants, mafias, goon squads, cops, a genocidal army, and their accomplices created mayhem in the capital through murders, lust, injustice, rabble, and pulling off a million-dollar heist in Edinburgh. It's once said, "You can't run away from destiny. It's pain that makes the legacy." In this rat race, can anyone be worthy enough to conquer all and create a legacy? Note: Our social workers' insensitivity in the book is fictitious. We ask you to refrain from taking it too literally. I hope you all like my book, and don't forget to let me know when you're addicted to it. Happy reading.! For Harish.
