Book excerpt: The records contained in a long forgotten chest found in London set off three intrepid adventurers from Britain, Pakistan and India on an exciting and dangerous mission to unravel a top-secret plan hatched two centuries ago by the Divans of Tipu Sultan, the ‘Tiger of Mysore.’ While narrating the story of their expedition, the author weaves a web of fiction of high drama, full of suspense and unexpected twists and turns, in the back-drop of historical facts, with a touch of romance and espionage, before bringing the curtain down with a thrilling climax at a remote and astonishingly beautiful place in Karnataka.
