However, writing such thrillers can be quite challenging as it requires extensive research by the authors to get the things right.

The criminal, known as The Poet, writes deep poetry with hidden messages and has shook the world with his big executions. He even recites his evil poetry while interacting with his fans through radio.
Armed with just a camera and his intelligence, The Major leaves for Cairo, to complete his mission without any backup plan or any weaponry support.

To he honest , I can recall about a film that I saw few years back on how a criminal sings a song and one by one everyone is murdered. And, after reading your review, I got to know here the criminal writes poems which is a complete mess for his or her victims I must say.
Writing poetry for passing messages… that is surely ingenious. I like the title of the book. And your review makes it a must read
