Book Summary
Indian cricket is rocked by the betting scandal. The Gentleman’s Game has suddenly become the by-lanes of providing flush money to the underworld. The nexus spread its tentacles across the cricketing nations, big and small, with its epicentre in Islamabad.
Devil’s Lair is a multi-layered cricket thriller that takes you into a make believe world of cricket betting and changes that were forced into the game by BCCI and ICC on one hand and a ruthless betting cartel that spread from India to London to South Africa to Dubai and Islamabad weaving a web of conspiracy to destroy a nation on the rise.
It is also a book about a young dynamic CBI officer Aditi Chauhan and her indomitable determination to bust this wicked plot. It is also a book about an ISI Major with the sole focus of bringing India down on her knees. It is also a book about a cricketer from Bengal who gets mixed up in this combustible conspiracy.
Will Aditi be successful or will Major have the last laugh? A page turner of a world imagined that will leave you gasping for breath.
