In the deadly games of espionage, there are men who kill and disappear without a trace. Agent Lima is one of them—highly trained, efficient and ruthless, an elite operative of India’s most secretive intelligence agency. R.A.W. Hitman 2: The Assassinations unravels the story of how this nameless operative rose to become the most feared weapon in India's covert arsenal. As Lima plunges into the underworld of fake currency, double agents, and high-stakes betrayal, he faces enemies who are willing to die to protect their secrets. Whether infiltrating the dangerous confines of the Almora Jail or navigating the criminal labyrinth of Kathmandu, Lima must play a deadly game, earning the trust of hardened criminals while maintaining his cover. But with each move, the noose tightens. One mistake could cost his life—and India’s future. In the shadows, orchestrating it all, is Colonel Sobhraj, a man who commands from the background, invisible yet ever-present. Their relationship is built on silent trust: Lima is the executioner, while Sobhraj guides him through dangerous terrain. From luring arms dealers to taking down counterfeit networks flooding India’s economy, every move brings Lima closer to the hidden kingpins. But even as Lima outsmarts his enemies, the ghosts of his past loom larger. Each mission pushes him further into the void where the lines between loyalty and betrayal blur. Agent Lima must use every trick he’s learned to hunt down his targets while evading those who seek his death. His legend grows in whispers, in the cold breaths of those who never saw him coming. These are the untold origins of a man who operates in the realm where only the deadliest survive. R.A.W. Hitman 2: The Assassinations is a gripping saga of loyalty, deception and ruthless precision that will leave you breathless until the very last page.
The sound of her footsteps on the stairs. Her apparition passing by the half-open dopr. Sweat wriggling down my ribs. Had she been alive, I would have strangled her with my bare hands. So what if I'd loved her once? All that jazz didn't matter now. But how do you kill someone who is already dead? Kareem Khan has faced death countless times. As an operative in the military's covert wing, danger is part of the job. But nothing can prepare him for the day his dead wife comes back for him.
