About the Book: The Puppeteer A little while after the Kargil debacle, the President ofPakistan, in an unprecedented move declares that he is willing toresolve the Kashmir Issue with New Delhi; recognize the Line ofControl as sacrosanct - treat it the international boundary betweenthe two nations and comb out the non-state actors. This windfall ishailed by the Indians obviously, and the different InternationalAgencies. Amidst the mixed reaction among Pakistanis across different levels, there is an extremely unhappy man. He is AamirBen Kalish, empire builder and king maker - one of the mostpowerful businessmen of Pakistan. He delegates a small trio of his trusted aides to intervenebefore the treaty is signed - to silence the President.Permanently. From the dusty quarters of Lahore to the hot and humidlanes of Calcutta, the story sprints to deliver to the Presidenthis gift for forgetting Pakistans geo-strategic imperative, forbeing the unnecessary cavalier. The bomb, the bomber, his handlers- none of them can be traced; for none of them officiallyexist. The climax is followed by an inconceivable twist in thetail.
