Soumitra Singh has recently come out with a book, The Child of Misfortune. A geopolitical thriller, the book traverses a variety of terrains and settings such as a conflict in the frozen Siachen, or Offshore Financial Centres. Singh remarks that, “The story aims at providing groundbreaking insight into these matters through a fast-paced action-adventure narrative.”

He further admits that the book required in-depth research. “Yes I did a lot of research. I went and stayed in Kashmir and did the study of the area and then wrote the book. I wanted people to understand the condition of this area as a lot is happening here which does not reach us, so the book mentions it,” says Singh. The book deals with the edgy topic of terrorism, however, the writer feels that he is not the right person to comment on it.
