Review
Neeraj Kumar's Dial D for Don is a riveting account of the evolution of India's underworld, particularly in Mumbai. From organized crime to match-fixing and finally, terrorism. Narrated in graphic detail by the man who investigated some of its most sensational episodes.' Aroon Purie
‘All stories (and true stories, mind you) in this book are grippingly narrated as though like a whodunit novel. You can't help but breathtakingly participate in the progress of the cases and join the author, a former colleague, in jumping with joy on their dramatic conclusion. You repeatedly discover that Neeraj was not just a passive leader but often led from the front, at times even risking his life.' Raja Vijay Karan
‘Neeraj Kumar prises open a world of crime and policing through his debut book Dial D for Don in a manner that is both John Le Carre and James Hadley Chase, except his 11 stories are for real. His recollections have been part of India's crime history bordering on folklore. His easy style, an overpowering memory and deftness of purpose make this book a compelling read. The reader is transported into a world we knew existed, but had no insights into. He bares open a closet full of solved cases which he helped bring to closure. It is in this book that we come to terms with a reality that has been part of our lives, and yet one we've remained so distant from.' Suhel Seth
‘Neeraj Kumar's Dial D for Don makes compelling reading. It's fast, furious and some of the stuff pretty hair raising. It's a great insight, first hand, into the world of fixing, terrorism and the underworld. It's a must read that goes at T20 pace.' Ravi Shastri
