My Views - The book is about stealing a famous painting 'Poppy Flowers' by vincent van gogh.Now the painting has really been stolen many times and is still missing.I love how the author has used real information instead of using some fake name.The story is medium-paced but keep the tension as it is.The narration and the characterization is good.I really like captain's character and the skill-set he possessed.He is master of disguise and a perfect plan maker. But he is not a cold-blooded killer.Other characters like Sylvia,an ex-escort now works as Udham's advisor,Damodar-Udham's right hand man,Hari Mohan Gupta- an honest SI ,these characters also played vital role to complete the story.The language is simple and you will not feel bored as the thrill is continued till last. Overall a thrilling read. Recommended.

My Rating - 4⭐️/5⭐️
