The Silence of Infinity

A suspenseful and mysterious crime thriller that takes its characters to their limits as they question Providence and Free Will while tackling fatalism in the face of abject suffering. The novel tears through the fabric of life and delves deep into dark psychological holes to converge into a stirring and cathartic finale.
Chandra - a bereaved hothead cynic - investigates a shocking murder with hopes of redemption. However, he and his protege Humayun hardly suspect a far sinister game in motion. Things go haywire when the nation's capital is hit by a deadly crisis: the suspected maniac unleashes a gene-modified, grief-latching parasite upon the city and barricades himself inside a shopping mall with a thousand hostages. As the city grapples with a month-long siege, the characters battle their inner demons. But there is also something inexplicable guiding them towards a final confrontation with the truth, and an unexpected surprise.
