On the afternoon of 12 March 1993, a series of explosions cut a swathe of terror and destruction through Bombay. In Black Friday, S. Hussain Zaidi takes us into the heart of the conspiracy and the massive investigation that ensued. A product of four years of meticulous research, the book gives chilling insights into the minds of Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon, among others. The characters we meet are compelling: the terrorists, the corrupt law enforcement agents, the tireless investigators and, above all, the people of Bombay of whose resilient spirit this book is a celebration.
