In the frozen wilderness of Anchorage, Alaska, CIA Special Agent Jared Henderson is investigating a series of murders with nothing to link them except dead ends. Until a chance encounter with a mysterious woman in a hotel leads to a startling discovery and opens up an intriguing trail. It's a trail that puts him on a journey to conflict-torn Israel, civil war ruined Nigeria, and decaying post-industrial Japan where he uncovers a terrifying secret. A secret that ultimately makes him enter the dark and deep heart of India where a millennia old death cult is being revived by a group of fanatics convinced that the end of the world is at hand and they are the agents chosen by God to bring it about. Manned by an army of trained assassins, the cult is as invisible as it is immanent. Racing against time, Jared must reach the center of the conspiracy and unravel it before it's too late. Travelling across countries, continents and millenia, this is a thriller that'll keep you on tenterhooks.

The Enemy Within
A man is killed in the middle of a desert in Rajasthan, India and is chanced upon by a group of tourists out on a desert safari. They panic and disperse without informing the police. Rohan Kapoor, a NIA agent and his team are tasked with tracking down these tourists, who were witnesses to this death on the dunes. The man killed is believed to an NIA agent who went rogue and is now an ISI spy, carrying crucial data when a crack team killed him. The data was nowhere to be found on him. Since the data is extremely critical to national security, the Indian authorities are anxious to identify the witnesses covertly. Unfortunately, there are zero leads to even begin the manhunt. The ruses the team employs to unearth the witnesses are occasionally really ingenious and sometimes truly quirky. As each layer is uncovered the plot only gets murkier, with the team getting entangled in an intricate web of deceit. In this twisted world of counter espionage, it's only a matter of time before the predators become the prey.Concluída

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
