Himalayan White by Amitabh Pandey in Paperback

 

Following years of battling covert wars in distant regions, Colonel Gautam Shukla, a Special Forces Officer, chooses to retire and settle down on a small estate in Kumaon. However, his plans are disrupted when he thwarts a kidnapping attempt on Nisha, a young army widow, while on a morning jog in the outskirts of Delhi. This puts him in direct opposition with Bhima, a powerful politician with a vast criminal network, and his unhinged son, Angad. As Gautam races to rescue Nisha and unexpected sparks fly between them, a violent showdown is inevitable. The fast-paced story unfolds in Noida, the political hub of Lutyens' Delhi, and the tranquil Kumaon region, culminating in a dramatic climax.
