Honor Among Spies

In 2018, The Spy Chronicles sparked a firestorm in global intelligence circles. Co-authored by A.S. Dulat (former chief of India’s RAW) and Lt Gen. Asad Durrani (ex-head of Pakistan’s ISI), alongside journalist Aditya Sinha, the book broke barriers by showing rival spy chiefs openly discussing peace between India and Pakistan. Their bold call for cooperation came at a cost: Durrani faced backlash in Pakistan, including a travel ban and loss of pension.

Honour Among Spies picks up this explosive narrative but shifts to fiction. It follows a disgraced spy fighting to clear his name, mirroring Durrani’s real-life struggles. Woven into the thriller are echoes of real events-like the raid on Osama bin Laden’s hideout, which Durrani had eerily predicted years earlier. The novel blends high-stakes espionage, moral dilemmas, and biting commentary on how spies and governments manipulate truth.

Taut, suspenseful, and layered with insider insights, this story feels ripped from headlines. Fans of The Spy Chronicles will recognize the sharp wit and unflinching honesty, while new readers get a gripping tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the dangerous game of intelligence. A must-read for anyone fascinated by the shadowy world of spies-and the fragile line between heroism and disgrace.
