The Fallen God
The Secret Behind the Most Revered God's Fall from Grace
A British-Indian woman, two-millennia-old Kushan coins, and three converging forces make for a relentless debut thriller.
Overview
Monika Patel spent twenty years believing her father had taken his own life. Then she discovers the truth: he was killed — over two-millennia-old coins from the Kushan dynasty. The revelation pulls her into a world where intelligence agencies, professional assassins, and scheming politicians are all converging on the same ancient artefacts.
Neelabh Pratap Singh runs three storylines simultaneously. AJ Chauhan, an intelligence agent, picks up a surveillance signal pointing to a British-Indian woman carrying something that could destabilise national security. Maghavan Singh, a villager, gets drawn into the mysterious deaths of Dalits and the schemes of politicians who want to use him — not knowing that the British-Indian woman at the centre of those schemes is being hunted by forces far more lethal than local politics.
The Fallen God is the first in a series, and it moves fast — converging its threads toward a finale built on two thousand years of buried history.
Monika Patel, a young British-Indian, lived under the delusion that twenty years ago, her father had killed himself... until recently, when she learns that her father was killed for two-millennia old coins of Kushan dynasty. AJ Chauhan, a bright and carnally charged intelligence agent, receives a coded message from routine surveillance about a British-Indian girl who possesses a weapon that can turn the national security upside down. Maghavan Singh, an obscure villager, gets caught between the mysterious deaths of Dalits and scheming politicians who want to recruit him for their perverse agendas. If only as a respite, he has to involve a young British-Indian girl whom, unbeknownst to him, intelligence agencies are closely pursuing. While politicians, a relentless assassin, and a covert agency - all want the ancient Kushan coins, and, as more and more blood is spilled, Monika Patel finds herself unwittingly caught in a deadly whirlpool where all she can hear are whispers of two-thousand-year-old coins... The first in a new series, Neelabh Pratap Singh, has written a cracking, adrenaline-pumping action thriller with shocking twists and an unforgettable ending.
