Set in Terai, Uttar Pradesh, in 1990, Codename Stallion unfolds against the turbulent backdrop of militancy that emerged following heightened security measures in Punjab. The region, gripped by fear, witnesses a wave of violence—innocent civilians, law enforcement officers, and suspected informers fall victim to the militants’ ruthless tactics. Gunfights, bombings, and bank heists have become disturbingly commonplace. Amidst this turmoil, Aloke Lal is appointed Superintendent of Police, tasked with restoring order, earning the trust of the locals, and dismantling the militant network. However, his mission is fraught with challenges—a government reluctant to acknowledge the crisis, impending elections, scarce resources, and the dwindling morale of his force.
Aloke comes face-to-face with the elusive and formidable leader of the militants, codenamed Mark Stallion. With his transfer looming and the stakes higher than ever, the question remains: Will justice prevail for those caught in this reign of terror?

Drawing from real-life events, Codename Stallion delivers a gripping account of the relentless pursuit of a feared militant leader. Through high-risk operations, tense interrogations, and threats to Lal’s own life, the book offers a riveting insight into the personal experiences of one of India’s top police officers during a defining chapter of militancy in Uttar Pradesh.
The book's lucid language and engaging narration make it fast-paced and effortlessly draw the reader into its gripping storyline. Based on true events, this concise yet impactful work—spanning approximately 160 pages—is packed with suspense, action, and intrigue. Beyond its thrilling narrative, the book serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the importance of timely justice and the challenges faced by the legal system. It sheds light on how those in power can sometimes influence judicial processes, prompting reflection on the delicate balance between law, authority, and justice.
I recommend this book to readers who appreciate narratives inspired by actual events and those who enjoy fast-paced thrillers filled with intrigue and suspense.
