In an alternate India ruled by corrupt politicians, criminal syndicates and violent mobsters, remorseless contract killer Virat Nariman has been called out to execute a mark in exchange for information on his daughter’s killers.

Anya’s headless body found in a dumpster, drives the hitman to hunt every link in the long chain of a sex trafficking ring.

Unknown to Virat, the fate of Gulab Sharma, a 17 year old kidnapped from the heart of Indraprastha journeying through the sex slave pipeline, is tied to his success.

Will he manage to deliver bloody justice to the criminals who exploit and mercilessly murder women? Will Gulab run out of time? Find out in His Night Begins, the first book in a hardboiled crime series set in India.
