ABOUT THIS BOOK

In the eerie silence of the Ragyabas monastery, nestled in the icy splendour of the Himalayas, a riveting drama unfolds. Fearing Chinese intrusion, the Head Lama of the monastery orders the transfer of the Panchen Lama’s priceless jewels to the Indian government for safe keeping. When the Chinese learn of the plan, they send to New Delhi two of their most ruthless spies—the deadly Chomo Jung, and the beautiful Pempem Kachin, who is well versed in the art of using her wiles to achieve her ends. As the adventure plays out in the vast emptiness of the Himalayas and the murky corridors of Lutyens’ Delhi, the seamiest sides of human nature are revealed.
Brimming with suspense and tension, Spy in Amber is an iconic espionage thriller from one of India’s most outstanding storytellers
