Non stop action

Well authored narrative by Mr.Vijayakumar and we'll read by the reader. Action packed with success and failures during the search of the Most Wanted criminal in India at that time.

Truth is stranger than fiction

All detective and crime novels pale in comparison to this true story. Amazingly well written 👏 👌
Tuhin Menon's narration is wonderful.
