A pirate, a girl and a spy; can their lethal relationship work? A coast guard officer turned novelist Kulpreet Yadav tries to unravel the complex layers revolving around the life of a dreaded pirate in his recent fiction.

The novel 'The Girl Who Loved a Pirate', depicts a story of a 30-year-old notorious pirate, who falls in love with a 20-year old beauty queen and an undercover spy from a top-secret agency in India.

Influenced by the power of love the pirate Ba-Qat begins to transform but unfortunately gets arrested. Locked up in a high security jail in Malaysia, he longs to be reunited with his lady love Dao Ming.
 

The playground of the novel is set in the high seas of Indian coast and the rave parties in Goa.

Another character Andy Karan, an undercover Indian spy is on a mission to sniff out his colleague's murderer in Goa.

"People hold a notion that piracy and such attacks are something foreign happening in the coast of Somalian seas or Caribbean shores, which is not true" says Yadav, who left his job as a coast guard officer to embrace a passion for writing.

The fiction was launched here recently.
