The Laughing Buddha

By Walter Wayne

In the volatile chessboard of international politics, one misstep could ignite a global inferno. When a disillusioned Iranian scientist leaks secrets about a shadowy alliance between Iran and Pakistan's ISI, the world is thrust into a spiraling crisis. A covert Mossad operation leaves behind a radioactive scar in Shiraz, escalating tensions and setting the stage for retribution.

As nations teeter on the brink of war, two unlikely allies emerge to navigate the chaos. Sean Francis, MI6's seasoned intelligence officer, and Puneet Shome, India's sharp-witted detective, are thrust into a deadly game of espionage. Together, they uncover The Laughing Buddha-a daring, multi-agency counteroffensive to destabilize Iran's regime.

But their mission is fraught with danger. Betrayals within their ranks, coordinated terror attacks across continents, and a web of sleeper cells threaten to unravel their efforts. With time running out, Puneet and Francis must outmaneuver a cunning adversary orchestrating a false-flag operation that could tip the scales toward catastrophe.

From the secret council chambers of Tehran to the labyrinthine alleys of Karachi, Walter Wayne's The Laughing Buddha takes readers on a high-octane journey through a world of deception, sacrifice, and moral ambiguity. Will they stop the doomsday countdown, or will the echoes of The Laughing Buddha signal the dawn of global chaos?

Brace yourself for a gripping political thriller where every choice could be humanity's last.
