BOOK BLURB:
On a cold December morning, a white woman is found murdered in a cheap hotel in Paharganj, New Delhi.

It's the bus ticket used by the dead woman two days earlier. But Vicks is battling personal trouble. He has no money, an alcohol problem, and a nearly broken relationship with Tonya, his estranged live-in partner, a clinical psychologist who specializes in profiling hardened criminals. Moving in and out of the shadows, Vicks pushes his investigation harder as it takes him from Udaipur to Bangkok. On his side, for resources, he has a nameless intelligence operative, and to read minds, a lover who is beginning to trust him again. But above all, his instinct to stay inches ahead of death will be the key to his survival. If Vicks lives, this is one story that will change his life forever.

The story is very well written. It has everything including suspense and many incidents to thrill the readers. I would say the Author perfected it as it was such a page-turner. The book cover and title are apt. I found Author Kulpreet Yadav's work so brilliant in this book and I am eagerly looking forward to read more of his books.

I would give 5/5 stars and would highly recommend this murder mystery to all readers.
