About the book
Zeeshan Haq, a handsome Kashmiri lad, is forced to relocate to Mumbai after losing his father in a mysterious fire that destroys their ancestral photo studio in Srinagar. With ambitions to become a successful photographer, Zeeshan joins his maternal uncle in the running of a small agency that supplies paparazzi pictures to Mumbai’s tabloids and newspapers. That is his introduction to the seductive, dazzling, often hedonistic world of Mumbai high-society.
Zeeshan is instantly smitten by Hazel Haroon, a model and aspiring Bollywood film star, and yearns to vault over the red velvet rope that separates the paparazzo from his glamorous subjects. Soon enough, he succeeds in becoming chief assistant to Kabir Kohli, Mumbai’s most celebrated fashion photographer.
But just when things are looking up for him, Zeeshan gets unwittingly trapped in a web of crime and deceit, the consequences of which threaten his career and very existence.
Set between Mumbai and Dubai, two cities where nothing is quite what it seems, Flash Point is a riveting tale of lust, greed and naked ambition.
