Black Friday is a ghastly account of the one of the biggest terrorist attacks on Bombay, in 1993.

Together they defeat, crush, and neutralize every mafia gang in Mumbai.

While he has no criminal empire of his own, his barbaric bio-sketch could fill several police case diaries. Those who live by the bullet die by the bullet - almost every last man of them. But in their short reign of terror, they leave a trail of devastation in their wake. In this no-holds-barred book, undercover reporter Gabriel Khan, backed by years of behind-the-scenes work, provides an insight into the lives of 12 of the most vicious and fearless hitmen of Mumbai.

Five years after 26 / 11, the siege of terror in Mumbai that brought the country to its knees, India still seeks justice.

What drove them to such violent designs? What were their compulsions?

New Delhi, 2017. It is nine years since the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, and the wounds have still not healed.

Meanwhile, in Bhopal, five members of the Indian Mujahideen, arrested by Vikrant, break out of the Central Jail. Vikrant, suspended for the diplomatic disaster, is unofficially asked to assist the team tracking the escaped terrorists.

Mumbai has produced many dons - but perhaps none so colourful as Abu Salem. The flamboyant ex-aide of Dawood Ibrahim is best known for his involvement in the Mumbai blasts of 1993 and for the murder of music composer Gulshan Kumar. But he became equally famous for his relationship with actress Monica Bedi and his close connection to Bollywood, leading to a number of attempted murders of the film industry's biggest names.
