{"product_id":"9789350295359","title":"The Indus Intercept","description":"A sharply plotted espionage thriller Balochistan, 2003: a drama of insurgency and international intrigue unfolds in Pakistan's dust bowl province. At the centre of it is the Mir, a militant Baloch separatist driven as much by the need to seek revenge as he is by his ardour for a free homeland. He leads a life in the shadows, eluding the ISI as he flirts with the CIA and RAW. In the midst of this intrigue, American soldiers on the Af-Pak border discover a mysterious note written in the ancient Indus Valley script. The CIA tasks Alejo Covas, a deep cover agent living in Quetta, with deciphering its significance. His investigations lead him to the ancient archaeological site of Mehrgarh where he meets Adiva, an American-born Pakistani woman researching Baloch folklore. They are soon caught up in a chain of events that are unleashed by the Mir, who is planning his boldest strike yet - one that could set South Asia ablaze. As Alejo races to avert a catastrophic war, political expediency intrudes on morality, deception lurks at every step, and love and betrayal go hand-in-hand.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139586474224,"sku":"9789350295359","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789350295359_p0.jpg?v=1763673657","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789350295359","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
