Fairly interesting,a mysterious man hires two criminals to kidnap a girl.But the girl ends up at Faridi's house.The identity of the culprit,did not surprise me,however.

[Shabana Mukhtar · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story is a prime example of tain tain fish, though. The whole cat n mouse game ends up as a simple "greed for inheritance". Such a disappointment.

What surprised me the most in this story is that I hadn't read this before until now. Can you believe it? I have started reading Ibn e Safi eversince I was six, and I still haven't read 'em all. What are the odds?
You can read a detailed review with quotes etc here

A Disclaimer about this review:

Irrespecive of the title, and what rating I give, I love his work.
Ibn-e-safi, the person who introduced me to the world of suspense and thriller at young age of six (ish).
Growing up, it was a challenge to get hold of his books. Thanks to the people who put a lot of effort to digitize all his books.
Since past three years, i read all his 150+ books, Imran Series and Jasoosi Duniya, at least once in a quarter. Yes, that is how much I like his work. Sue me, if it is wrong.

سازش کا جال (جاسوسی دنیا#44)
از: ابن صفی

اس ناول کی کہانی یہ ہے کہ خان بہادر اشرف نامی ایک مالدار شخص دولت کے لالچ میں اپنی اکلوتی بھتیجی سلیمہ کی دولت ہتھیانے کیلئے ایک ایسا سازش کا جال بنتا ہے کہ وہ بیک وقت بلیک میلر اور خطرناک نامعلوم قاتل بن کر سامنے آتا ہے۔
فریدی اور حمید بھی نہایت شاندار انداز میں مجرم سے نپٹتے ہیں۔
اور یہاں فریدی اپنے رضاکاروں پر مشتمل بلیک فورس کو بھی متعارف کراتا ہے۔ جو اس کیس میں مجرم کی جاسوسی اور گرفتاری میں کافی اہم کردار ادا کرتے ہیں۔

مگر یہاں بھی ایک بار پھر مجرم کو خودکشی کر کے قانون کی گرفت سے نکلتا ہوا دکھایا گیا ہے۔
