Synopsis

In the shadow world of espionage, trust is a liability. Betrayal is a certainty. And the price of failure is paid in blood.

When an isolated railway coach is left abandoned in a deserted Delhi junkyard with a cold corpse inside, a terrifying countdown begins. What looks like a localized crime is only the opening move in a political conspiracy designed to shake the nation from within.

Locked inside a classified dossier stamped CONFIDENTIAL, the blueprints of this attack are hidden in plain sight.

Enter the operative code-named Mrs. Gupta.

To the world, she is just another ordinary woman. But behind the sharp gaze and quiet exterior lies one of the state’s most quietly dangerous intelligence assets. Stripped of official backup and staring down the barrel of a gun, she must navigate a treacherous maze of rogue paramilitary cells, international drug networks, and traitors hiding in plain sight.

From a dead body in a railway coach to the dark corridors of shadow intelligence, Operation Pest Control pulls back the curtain on a ruthless war where the enemy is not always across the border—they may be sitting right across the table.

Can she burn down the smokescreen before the mastermind strikes the final blow?

OPERATION PEST CONTROL, Book One of The Smoke Screen Series, is a gritty, fast-paced Indian espionage and spy thriller packed with political conspiracy, shadow intelligence, dark crime, national security stakes, and twists that keep the danger closing in till the final page.
