ABOUT THE BOOK ‘CRYSTAL NIGHT OF ANARCHY’ reflects the anarchism and corruption present in a developing country.

He is incorporated into a life of crime, a price he must pay in exchange for his daughter's life. THE PROLOGUE It was graphic, it was inhumane, the doctors said, she sustained a gunshot in the heart, another in the rib, another in the eye. There's no possible way she could survive it. It was a cloudy Friday afternoon, it was after the jummah prayer. He had no true religion, but he had gone to prayer that day. He saw them from afar, on bikes, they had no mask on, it was done deliberately. He knew who they were, or at least he recognized one of them, but he couldn't possibly apprehend them. He was transfixed, helpless as he saw them snatch her life from her. It was the dawn of his damnation, the beginning of the end. His path to anarchy.
