Spy-Hunters #13
A spy hunter operative is hired by the Maharajah of Kashmir to demolish and divert the Jhelum River away from the Punjab, with a substantial payment in diamonds and emeralds upon completion of the mission. The agent travels to Kashmir to investigate the geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan over the disputed province and the river's water supply, while uncovering a communist plot to invade Tibet. The story involves encounters with enemy agents, references to Marco Polo's travels, and complications arising from the international intrigue surrounding Kashmir's control and the region's strategic importance.
