The capital conspiracy by Neelabh Pratap Singh

​"The capital conspiracy" by Neelabh Pratap Singh -  Good start!

This book is published in 2022 and has 204 pages. This is ebook 1 of  ‘JV Solanki thrillers’. 

JV (Jai Veer) Solanki is a retired para commando. Jas Kaur heads and is forming a special unit of IB called Scorpion. Shanaya Gill, niece of Jas Kaur (IB) is spiriting a USB stick when she is kidnapped. She manages to pass the USB stick to her friend Amit Gupta before kidnapping.

Why is Jas Kaur’s niece kidnapped? Who kidnapped her? What’s On the USB stick? How does Jas know JV? What is Capital spring?

JV (Jai Veer) Solanki, 45, is enjoying his retired life in Hrishikesh. Although he has left soldering, has the soldier left him? Jas Kaur has formed scorpion to fight the enemies of India within, to do what regular agencies can’t do. She has a special connection with Shanaya. In her personal life, Jas has several relationships but she has a commitment issue and is still single. Shanaya is miffed with Jas. But she agrees to be her spy. Rehana is a Kashmiri agent. Her brother was martyred so, she preferred intelligence over cricket. Shanaya is a typical confused college going teenager. 

The narrative of the story is based on the recent events in India (Anti CAA protests, Shaheen Baugh etc.). The protests are instigated and fueled by leftists branding the current nationalist government as fascist. There is a bigger conspiracy and these protests and violence is only the beginning. Jas has her suspicion about certain student leaders and enlists Shanaya to spy for her. The story is interesting. It’s also not very long. It’s compact. Lot of gun fights, bloodshed and deaths. Although it’s the National conspiracy, this book concentrates on kidnapping and rescue of Shanaya. 

The other party is always one step ahead of Jas and JV. How? Obviously a traitor. However, the traitor is a little too obvious. So revelation of the identity doesn’t come as surprise. 

This book introduces JV Solanki. Patriot. Retired. Still in shape. Never shies away from action. A 45 year old hero. Little old for a protagonist. This is first book of the series. I would say it’s a good start. Three more books are already published. 

There are some grammatical errors and spelling mistakes in this book. Should have been rectified.

My collectible sentences from this book:

-He has to catch some zeds. 

-JV felt like his bones had turned to dust. 

Why did I read this book? Curiosity about new thriller series. 

What I didn't like? Poor concealment of traitor’s identity. 

What did I like? Compactness . 

Recommend reading.
