The Delhi Directive

THE KILL LIST IS REAL . . . AND INDIA HAS BEGUN TO CROSS OFF NAMES. They called it Delhi Directive, a whispered order passed in an insulated room in Sansad, born from a ruthless mandate: India will no longer wait for justice. When Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar is gunned down in Canada, Western capitals erupt in outrage. Beneath the diplomatic denials and public condemnations lies a darker truth. For years, a covert arm of India’s external intelligence agency, the R&AW, has been quietly hunting its enemies abroad, from terror financiers in London, separatist leaders in Vancouver to ISI assets in Karachi. At the heart of these shadow wars is a R&AW operative who does not officially exist. Moving through embassies and safehouses, he navigates the murky intersection of espionage, geopolitics and personal morality, until one mission unravels the delicate balance between patriotism and power. Taut, explosive and frighteningly plausible, The Delhi Directive exposes the hidden war India fights beyond its borders through the unnamed agents who live and die in its name.
