Arun Kumar Rao has hit rock bottom. A former chess prodigy and brilliant mathematician, he can’t seem to pass his banking service exams—his last shot at landing a government job. He’s also parted ways with the love of his life because he wanted someone better for her. Arun was a romantic like that. His father thinks he’s a certifiable loser, and with his family drowning in debt, Arun is running out of reasons to believe things will ever get better.

Then comes an unexpected offer from the formidable Bindima Kattamanchi: an overseas posting and a chance to secure his family’s future. There’s just one catch. Arun must assume an entirely new identity. He takes the job because, as the great Bob Dylan put it, when you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.
Dispatched to Oxford, Arun must infiltrate the inner circle of Ayesha Khan, daughter of Pakistan’s chief nuclear scientist. What begins as an infiltration mission spirals into a deadly game spanning London, Pakistan, and Central Asia, as Arun races to uncover a conspiracy with the potential to unleash global catastrophe. Armed with scant training, zero field experience, and little more than a chess master’s instincts, he’s thrown straight into the deep end. And when his carefully constructed cover begins to unravel, one wrong move could cost him everything.

Set against the geopolitical powder keg of 1995, White Dog: Deep Cover is the gripping story of an unlikely spy with a decidedly middle-class conscience.
