Distant

The inaugurative novel from fourteen-year-old psychological thriller writer, Afraz Shaikh. The first literary work self-published by the teenager is a disturbingly dark crime book which follows multiple perplexing plot-lines that are interlaced together. The reader is placed in numerous perspectives of characters who are exquisitely charming in their own manner. The town of Amesdale has been haunted by the recent gruesome murders and horrendous abductions of innocent residents. The Detective Agency recruits Phil Caderon who ventures on his duty to apprehend the murderous criminal, Jacob Bennett. He is soon ordered into a disconcerting battle with the man behind the murders. However, when the kidnapper's victim runs off, a new "hunter" rules Amesdale and taunts the detective. Agent Caderon is interjected into a series of crimes that involve another killer who is more linked to Jacob Bennett than he could ever comprehend. Conspiracy, collusions, and outlawed schemes drag the detective to a reality which started off as one's frightening past. "A single preliminary minute may suffice one or one's army to obtain a triumph. A split second is enough to guarantee you the universe's treasures. A fraction of a second can make a difference between life and death and can determine your luck in God's will. " The Past is not a place they could return to. Afraz Shaikh presents: Distant
