"Ajit & Anil Return with Gripping Thriller ‘The Dealer’ This December"

September 2024 – Fans of gripping political thrillers can look forward to December when authors Ajit Menon and Anil Verma release The Dealer, the much-awaited third instalment in their acclaimed Panther’s Ghosts series. The duo, known for blending real-life political intrigue with fast-paced, high-octane fiction, is set to captivate readers once again with their signature storytelling.

Ajit and Anil have garnered a loyal following for their ability to draw inspiration from actual events and spin them into cinematic narratives that keep readers on the edge of their seats. With The Dealer, the stakes are raised as the story plunges deeper into a world of international conspiracies, covert operations, and ruthless power plays.

Following the success of Bloomsbury International, which published Panther’s Ghosts—The Beginning and The Puppeteer, published by Westland Publishing, Westland will again publish the latest novel. 

This time, the plot revolves around India’s Prime Minister, Damodar Das, who is the target of a lethal conspiracy masterminded by the enigmatic figure known only as "The Dealer." With the help of a secretive American organisation, The Dealer sets in motion a plot to assassinate the Prime Minister and destabilise the Indian government through a team of handpicked assassins.

Ajit and Anil's distinctive style is evident in their knack for crafting narratives that traverse continents, weaving together international power struggles, espionage, and betrayal. Their use of real-world geopolitics to anchor their fictional plots is expected to resonate with readers who appreciate the seamless blend of reality and fiction.

The Dealer follows five elite operatives, known as The Panther’s Ghosts, who must race against time to thwart The Dealer’s assassins before they strike. In true Ajit and Anil style, readers will be treated to a heart-pounding narrative, where the Ghosts navigate treacherous terrain and uncover dark secrets as they battle against forces that threaten India from within and outside.

"With The Dealer, we are giving readers a heightened, cinematic experience," said editor Sanghamitra of Westland Publishing. "Fans can expect a thrilling mix of high-stakes action, international betrayal, and covert operations—crafted with the mastery Ajit and Anil have become known for."

The previous two books have been praised for their blockbuster pacing and immersive storytelling. The Dealer is poised to deliver another roller-coaster ride through the shadowy corridors of power.

As the release date draws closer, anticipation is building among fans of the series. Amrita Talwar, Marketing Head at Westland Publishing, sums up the excitement: “If the previous books are any indication, The Dealer will be yet another runaway success, solidifying Ajit and Anil's status as true masters of the political thriller genre.”

"The Dealer is a high-octane race against time that will leave readers breathless. With political intrigue, shadowy conspiracies, and heart-pounding action, this promises to be their best yet."
