He lost his soul as a teenager and lived on with a ravaged heart. His exceptional talents were sold to the highest bidder. The world's law enforcement agencies scoured the earth for him. His true identity was known but to a few. He is Shadowy and deadly. Mauth was a pseudonym derived from the Hindi word for death. He dealt in the only certainty of life ? death!

This book is a wonderful read. It has all the elements of a good thriller. It's fast paced and has a lot of action. It takes us on a whirlwind tour of the world. Though it's about an assassin with extraordinary powers it's not all about action and violence. There is a story too. It gives us a different dimension to the main character Maut. The writing style is simple and straightforward. There are eight individual stories about Maut. As you read each one, you get drawn into the world of Maut. His professional life and his personal life. It's very cleverly written. What I liked most was the Indian angle to the story. I can't say more without spoiling the story for other readers. I hope there is a sequel to it.
