REVIEW
I love reading treason novels. Especially the pace they pick up without a few chapters and the urge they requite me to well-constructed it sooner. The novel Zero-day by Hussain Zaidi gives you a lot of twists turns and edge-of-seat moments.
In a rented municipality like Mumbai, a cyber wade is getting the municipality to a standstill. What would be the problem? Increasingly than physical terror, this time everything goes digital. A hacking struggle into the city’s traffic system brings the municipality to chaos.

Trying to find the identity of the hacker, to handling a national emergency situation in a smart way the typesetting has its own nuances by the tragedian with which he keeps the reader engaged. The language is simple and moreover makes the situations nail-biting through the narration. Characters Mirza and Vikrant had unconfined bonding that helped in cracking the mystery. A well-done power-packed story that definitely would alimony mystery lovers engaged.
