He had done a marvellous job with his Lashkar and now suspense author Mukul Deva gives us another insightful view into the threat perception of Islamic fundamentalism. Salim Must Die is a sequel to his bestseller Laskhar and it continues to feature Deva’s main characters Iqbal, Anbu and Salim — much more in detail.

Lashkar ended but a new plot comes from Iqbal, the mechanic-turned terrorist who made his way back across the Line of Control (LoC) to be captured by the Indian armed forces. Why would he do that and what is the mission of this young man is answered in the most thrilling manner.
