Summary of this book review -
The second part is had two timelines. One in Saudi where Gaonkar started his empire with pearl hunting company and second where Urja and Shemal relationship started deepening. Second part narrates how Gaonkar had played role of pirate and looted ship to give financial support to Jagjit. After settling down as respected businessman in Saudi, Gaonkar by accident met Urja's mother. Story of how Gaonkar got her wife was also breathtaking. In India, Jagjit cover was exposed and he was forced to leave country. He later joined Azand Hind Fauj under Subhash Chandra Bose. Second timeline was again in current time (1960's) where Shemal & Urja expressed each others' feeling and emotion. Urja tried to convince Gaonkar to accept Shemal; on other hand Shemal asked Gulshan Rai to stop blackmailing Gaonkar and told him about his love. Things became interesting as Hemant Oak and Malti Krishnan, Gaonkar helper & secretary started solving blackmailing mystery.

This is a phenomenal book!!
The chemistry between urja and shemal is just amazing, the back story description was amazing.
The part where we are witnessing a heist has blown my mind. Also this book sometimes gets boring but, with this uniq and amazing writing style you'll get thrills throughout.
Just looking forward to read 3rd part, cause ending has a BIG cliffhanger.
You should Definitely read if you love suspension, action, and thriller.
