A product of four years of meticulous research, the book gives chilling insights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the afternoon of 12 March 1993, a series of explosions cut a swathe through Bombay, spreading terror and destruction over a period of two hours. Starting from the landmark Bombay Stock Exchange in the south of the city during the crowded lunch hour, the blasts extended all the way across to Centaur Hotel, Juhu, in the north. The toll: 257 killed or missing, 713 injured, and a city in shambles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis study gives a chilling account of the criminal mind as revealed in Zaidi's interviews with the close associates of some of India's most notorious names-Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon, among other-and reveals the true dimensions of the macabre plan that spanned several countries and had been months in the making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe characters we meet are compelling: the terrorists, the corrupt law enforcement agents who abetted the plot, the investigators who would stop at nothing, and, above all, the people of Bombay, of whose resilient spirit this book is a celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor's Note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrologue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
