The Hunt for Truth (Arya Martins Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.9 out of 5 stars 12 ratings

How well do you really know anyone? Nobody ever tells the Whole Truth.

Bosch meets Homeland in this heart-pumping thriller from the international bestselling author Sury Patru Viswam, where a missing person investigation exposes dark secrets, lies, and a conspiracy that threatens our nation's safety.

On the early hours of the morning of September 11, 2001, a hit and run accident leaves a man unconscious on an off-road in the outskirts of Philadelphia.

Twenty-four hours later, a woman named Sania Tariq walks into a police station in Philadelphia to report her husband is missing.

For maverick Philadelphia detective Arya Martins, this case is personal... because she knew Sania Tariq and they used to be close friends before Sania disappeared ten years ago. 

As the investigation unfolds, Detective Martins becomes convinced that Sania's husband is not who he claims to be. With the help of her dynamic partner Edgar James, Arya Martins hunts for truth by following a trail of lies and secrets and uncovers a conspiracy of terror festering in the city of Philadelphia that would destroy our way of life. With the clock ticking fast, Arya Martins races against time to destroy a conspiracy before it's too late.

Tense, taut, expertly crafted, and brimming with unexpected twists, The Hunt for Truth is a riveting thriller that will leave the readers breathless long after they turn the final page.

    Clever plot and a very good thriller. The story has all the essential elements of a good detective novel - intriguing plot, well defined characters, fast paced investigation, and an underlying mystery. 
    The author wastes no time and gets right to the plot in the first two chapters - a hit-and-run accident in the early morning hours of September 11th and followed by a woman walking into a police precinct to report her husband went missing on September 10th. From that point on, the story grabs your attention and never lets it go. The investigation narrative is top notch - one clue leading to another. I enjoyed the sequences between the lead detective Arya Martins and her partner Edgar James. The book brought back memories around 9/11 and the author did a good job capturing the mood and emotions of the nation well.
    If you like mystery and detective stories, this one is not to be missed. Highly recommend it and I look forward to future books in this series.

    The way everything came together in the end is certainly kudos to the author - he does a very good job of tying all the pieces together.
    Brought up a whole lot of memory from the 9/11 incident and what a great job our front line workers did at the time.
    I am such a sucker for police thrillers and this one certainly hits the spot!
    Three cheers to the author and can’t wait to read more from him!

    A wonderful reading experience. Once having started could not put the book down. From a simple missing person report to the unfolding of the biggest conspiracy - the story has been very neatly portrayed.
    The Arya-Edgar duo have been exceptional in their work as well as their comradeship. How many lies, deceit, and conspiracy they had to uncover to solve the case!
    The neat finish of the novel requires a special mention. Great job by the author - Congratulations!

    Reviewed in India on September 9, 2020
    A riveting thriller begins with a accident, followed by a missing person report. The dedication and perseverance of the detectives, Arya and Edgar enable them to find out the truth about the missing person and also prevent a huge conspiracy against the nation. A brilliantly scripted story, the author deserves all the praise for the excellent climax.
