The Black Orphan is a thriller set in Mumbai, but it travels across the nation and beyond. It is a race to figure out a complicated plot of deaths and carnage. The story is a chase against an invisible enemy who kills but roams free with an iron-clad alibi. Terrorists, innocent lives lost, and a threat to the nation make The Black Orphan a riveting read any day. I found the book fast-paced and well-researched, with the story covering many facts and actual events that inspired this book. The writing is smooth and flows with the action.
