“Hard-hitting and emotionally wired!” - Goodreads

“Addictive, fresh and enlightening!” NetGalley

Yakub, a militant, plans a top-secret plot, Mission M, to make the world pay for the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Hassan, Yakub’s nephew and the orphan of a militant, is entrusted with the responsibility of fulfilling Mission M.

Shehed, Hassan’s lover, is a strong-willed woman who tries to stop him.

And Rafi is a habitual crook who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Can Mission M be stopped or will bin Laden speak from his grave…

A tense and fascinating novel of conflict, both political and personal, and the extraordinary lengths people will go to protect those they love.

Alif’s bio

I write because silence is not an option. At the same time, my novels brim with hope in addition to having a riveting plot. My debut novel, which was published by a boutique publisher in Europe some years ago, was seen to be refreshing.

My latest novel, The Songbirds, a literary love story, that has received exceptionally good reviews on Goodreads, goes to the heart of what’s ailing today’s world and tries to find answers to our most pressing questions.

I hope you enjoy reading my novels.
