The Goa Caper


Book Description

Silvio Kovac, a Croat; Sethu Jeysingham, a Sri Lankan; and Sivan Barz, an Iraqi Kurd – all victims of ethnic wars in their countries and now in Germany under political asylum – make an odd combo. The common draw between them is their past woes and burning desire for revenge. Silvio, during his stint in Goa, a tourist haven on the western coast of India, while employed with Luftaer of Germany, meets the ravishingly beautiful Nada Simic, a Croat now settled in Paris, visiting India with her paramour who happens to be a high-level dignitary with the Indian Government. Through her, Silvio learns of a plan for the conference of heads of commonwealth countries to be held in Goa and, with the help of his buddies, plots to kidnap these heads for a fabulous ransom. They succeed in kidnapping the whole lot of VIPs in their hired yacht but would they be able to execute the ransom demand totaling one hundred million dollars?
