Mukul Deva

Mukul Deva

Mukul Deva (b. around 1960) is a best-selling Indian English author, noted for the spy-military thrillers on terrorism, Lashkar, Salim must die, Blowback, etc. These novels pioneered the thriller genre in the Indian context.

The stories are populated by characters that are set in South Asia, who participate in rapidfire action in situations such as terrorism attacks, set in the Indian context.

Mukul Deva served as an officer in the Indian army from 1981 to 1996. He started writing novels even while in the Army, but these did not do well. After retirement, he opened the security service MSD Security, which has grown considerably.[1] He wrote his first spy-terrorism thriller, Lashkar, in 2010, which went on to become a best-seller, as have his subsequent books in the series.
