About The Book

A routine transfer was supposed to be a fresh beginning. Instead, it became a fight for survival.
Posted to a remote hill district, a government officer is assigned what appears to be an ordinary land dispute. But the deeper he investigates, the more he uncovers a chilling web of land crime, corruption, forgotten tribal history, and secrets buried beneath the mountains for decades.
There is one terrifying fact no one wants to discuss—the officer who handled the same file before him died under mysterious circumstances before the investigation could be completed.
As strange warnings grow, witnesses fall silent, and hidden enemies begin to close in, he realizes that the case is far more dangerous than anyone imagined. Every document reveals another layer of deception, and every step toward the truth brings him closer to the fate of his predecessor.
Is he investigating a crime… or walking into a carefully laid trap?
In a land where history, myth, and greed collide, survival may be the greatest challenge of all.
Will he expose the truth before the hills claim another victim? Or will the mystery remain buried forever?
A gripping thriller of land crime, conspiracy, and forgotten tribal secrets that will keep you turning pages until the very end.
