After years of fighting vicious secret wars in distant, obscure locations, Gautam Shukla heads to the hills for a life of quiet retirement. During a brief trip to Delhi, he meets Ruth, a striking young Israeli security officer and, while out jogging with her one morning, is witness to a highly professional 'hit' on a political figure in the heart of Lutyens' Delhi.As Gautam gets drawn into the hunt for the assassin, disturbing events begin to unfold close to his mountain retreat. An international drug cartel is building an opium-poppy-growing base in the mountains and has come uncomfortably close to Gautam's estate. Gautam must now not only help track down the assassin but also foil all attempts to convert the pristine - and until now peaceful - Kumaoni countryside into a deadly nest of crime and violence.
