The story of a police officer who, after landing a coveted place in the Indian Police Service, finds his dreams restricted by myopic conventional policing and rises to the challenge
Khaki in Dust Storm describes the investigations led by the celebrated police officer Amod K. Kanth during the tumultuous 1980s and early 1990s. This period witnessed the assassination of Indira Gandhi and the horrific riots that followed; the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi; the murder of Lalit Maken and General Vaidya; public attacks by terrorists including transistor bomb explosions; and an exponential increase in drug abuse and financial frauds. It was an era of dramatic crime, assassinations and terrorism. Kanth pieces together details, reveals previously unknown facts, carefully reconstructs the psyche of the perpetrators and recounts behind-the-scene manoeuvres. Together they make for a gripping narrative.
