About The Book

A gang of highly professional international thieves of Indian origin carries out a spate of diamond robberies across the world. Are they targeting consignments of uncut diamonds alone – or are these robbers also hunting for some secrets hidden in the pouches that carry the precious stones?
As the hidden secrets unravel, many unscrupulous forces attempt to get their hands on the key to limitless wealth and power that originated out of the laboratories of a university in India. The chase for the knowledge that will change the world forever spans continents and involves kidnappings and murder.
Two fiercely competitive nation states join in another desperate chase for the long hidden secrets behind the tumultuous events of half a century ago, when a sub-continent was torn apart so that a colonial power could meet its political and economic goals.
Will the diamond thefts help or disrupt the attempts to prevent earth-changing scientific secrets from falling into unscrupulous hands? Will the destiny of two nations change with the revelation of secrets hidden several decades ago by an assassinated Prime Minister?
