Publisher Description
International bestselling writer Mukul Deva thrills again in Assassins, the scorching sequel to Weapon of Vengeance.
Seven years after they conspired to kill Pakistani politician Benazir Basheer, two men, Pakistani Premier Asif Zardosi and ex-dictator General Pervaiz Masharrat, will reach Delhi on the very same day. Also converging on Delhi is assassin Leon Binder, who is seeking to bring down the curtain on a deadly three-decades-long career with a spectacular double hit.
Standing between Leon and his targets is one man: retired Inspector General of Police Ravinder Singh Gill. But Ravinder is reeling from the death of his daughter, Ruby, and for failing to prevent her from destroying the Israeli-Palestinian peace summit. His self-confidence has been shattered. To make matters worse, his mission becomes immediately treacherous when his most senior officer is found brutally tortured and murdered; it is obvious Ravinder's team has been penetrated.
Will Ravinder be able to stop Leon and prevent disaster in India and Pakistan?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Deva's clunky sequel to 2014's Weapon of Vengeance, which introduced Ravinder Singh Gill, the Indian Anti-Terrorist Task Force commander, pits Gill against an old friend and enemy, Leon Binder, who has come to India to assassinate Pakistan's prime minister, Abid Zardosi, and ex-dictator Gen. Pervaiz Masharrat. "Five measly weeks" is all Binder has to complete the job, so he's understandably nervous and misses no opportunity to say so in frequent spurts of annoying internal dialogue. Meanwhile, Gill is hampered by a mole on his team, but he slowly inches forward until a personal tragedy nearly derails his search for the assassin. Beneath the awkward prose (e.g., "Her hands clenched in tight, hate-filled balls"; "Zeenat stood over her, horror and satisfaction fighting for footage on her face") lies a tired, bloated plot. Persumably a success in Deva's native India (where it was first published), this series will have limited appeal to American thriller readers.
