About The Hunt for Kohinoor

A spine chilling ninety six hour hunt through the worlds most dangerous terrain where history collides with gunfire will Mehrunisa get out of this one alive? One morning on her way to work, Mehrunisa gets a call that will change her life forever. The truth about her missing father is at her fingertips but it will take her on the most desperate chase of her lifetime. A chase that will pit her against hardened jihadis plotting the deadliest terror attack on India, that will test her mettle against historys deep secrets, that will teach her that the price of love can mean bloodied hands. The Hunt for Kohinoor hurtles from icy Kashmir to snow-clad Hindukush from the sinister corridors of a military hospital to the warrens of Peshawar even as the clock counts down to the impending catastrophe.
