The Neighbour is a gripping tale of espionage, crime, and unintended courage set in the shadows between Pakistan and India.

When a ruthless smuggler undertakes a deadly mission to transport explosive cargo across the border with the intent to destabilize India, the clock begins to tick. On his trail is a relentless, old-school R&AW analyst...methodical, unforgiving, and driven by a lifetime of unfinished battles. For him, this is not just another operation; it is a matter of principle, obsession, and national survival.

But the real cost of espionage is borne far from the war rooms and border maps. Caught in the tightening net are two ordinary lives: an ageing man slowly losing himself to dementia, and his neighbour...a resilient housewife and devoted mother...whose quiet strength is tested when danger arrives unannounced at her doorstep. As secrets bleed into everyday life, the line between the innocent and the implicated begins to blur.
