Death and Desolation is the book 2 of the series. The first book was Death and Dishonor and truly enjoyed it back in 2019 or so.
This book is written by the duo: Abhimanyu Saxena and Tanmoy Basak. Even if you have not read the book 1 you can still read book 2 as a standalone.
First come first , I truly adored the cover. It's made mysterious and has dark suspenseful vibes!
Now coming to the story it's a thriller with loads of twists and turns. A shootout in the open daylight sterns out everyone. Inspector Zayed leaves no stones unturned but still fails to catch the culprit and understand the conspiracy behind it. When their all hopes are on the RAW agent he is nowhere to be found. Admist all these turmoils Vijay Yadav is stuck in the middle where he is frustrated with his inner battles and lands up into a mysterious savior group who are somehow linked with the same conspiracy where he now may get landed up too.
How will he understand what's their intention. Morethan that how are their plans linked more directly to him than he truly knows ? Will Zayed be able to solve the enigma ?
The characters are well developed. The plot set up is a thoughtful one with good pace. Only thing is the font I found was bit small for my comfort zone.
It's definitely a mysterious ride alongside the protagonist and the officer who try to execute their plans and the detective thrills kept me intrigued till the end.
I do recommend this book to thriller lovers. Check this new book out. If you read the book 1 and then this book you will find it more entertaining but even otherwise it's a good riveting read.
