“Guha proves herself with this third installment of the Ahriman series and a strong, female lead. Hers is a well-rounded novel that comes alive with her engaging plot and prose, placing her comfortably in a genre dominated by the likes of Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, and John le Carre.” – The US Review of Books
“Guha exerts careful control of the characters and her story, infusing it with humor and a touch of romance while offering a sensitive look at our pasts and the complexities of international relations. Her main characters are portrayed as realistic and human, painted on the page with emotions, flaws, and their own convoluted histories. It is a fast-paced read that is powered by non-stop action and a taut, emotional narrative,elevating the story beyond the usual hijinks of the genre novels. It is sure to entertain and please spy thriller fans.” – RECOMMENDED by the US Review of Books
“Most thriller writers depend on reference books and the Internet to do their research for their novels. But Puja Guha has ‘been there, done that.’ She’s traveled throughout the world from remote poverty-stricken nations to the boardrooms of high finance in the world’s richest cities, and it shows in this excellent novel. Fans of high-paced and action-filled thrillers won’t be disappointed.” – Brendan DuBois, bestselling mystery author, three-time Edgar Award nominee and James Patterson collaborator “Resurgence of the Hunt is both a gripping thriller and a nuanced character study. Puja Guha writes with real authority and authenticity.” –
