Summary:	"Belonging to an elite hit squad whose members all fall somewhere along the autism spectrum, Karan is notorious for his ruthless efficiency carrying out the exdtrajudicial assassinations the Indian Police Service is notorious for. Yet Karan's impenetrable façade begins to crack: Should he continue to follow morally suspect orders, or is it time to take matters into his own hands?"--Cover, p. [4]. "A melancholy cop's obsessions are just the tip of the iceberg as he leads a two-fisted team determined to clean up Mumbai's mean streets...Kumar's style, blunt but often by turns poetic and droll, is arresting...As unusual as it is compelling, this entry lays the groundwork for an entertaining series." -- Kirkus Reviews.

Description
Summary:	The Third Squad is an arresting, ripped-from-the-headlines noir novel that deftly explores how in recent decades, to ostensibly combat the rising tide of criminality in Mumbai's underworld, the Indian Police Service has carried out many hundreds of extrajudicial assassinations of suspected criminals. Karan, a sharpshooter dispensed with dishing out this peculiar blend of vigilante justice, has a difficult choice to make: should he continue to follow orders from his superiors, regardless of their moral standing, or should he take matters into his own hands and do what he believes to be right?
