Still Missing...

By Prasenjeet Kumar

The clock is ticking. The threat is invisible. And the target is the heart of the nation.

NEW DELHI. Battle-hardened Army Major Akhil Thapar is a survivor. Having lost his left leg leading a brutal counter-insurgency operation in Kashmir, he fought his way back to elite physical fitness through sheer, unyielding willpower. But nothing in his tactical military training has prepared him for the silent, devastating text message that fractures his world: They're following you.

His brilliant wife, intrepid investigative TV journalist Amrita Arora, has vanished. Kidnapped in broad daylight by a ruthless cell of Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists during an undercover sting operation in Srinagar, she has become a high-stakes political pawn. The demands are absolute; the timeline is an unforgiving twenty-four-hour countdown, and the Indian government is reluctant to negotiate.

Refusing to remain a passive bystander, Akhil goes completely rogue. Tapping into a dangerous network of deep-cover military intelligence informers, he launches a lone, high-stakes rescue mission into the heart of the war-torn valley.

But as Akhil penetrates the enemy territory, he realises his wife's kidnapping is merely a smokescreen for a much larger, horrifying catastrophe. Deep within encrypted files is a terrifying, unprecedented plot designed to trigger a national execution right in the heart of the capital. With only hours remaining on the clock and an invisible enemy closing in, Akhil must deploy every ounce of tactical grit to find the cell before the countdown hits zero.

An intensely visceral, lightning-paced upmarket political thriller exploring the authentic grit of military intelligence, the dark mechanics of global terror, and the relentless race against time to protect a nation's soul.
