Description

What does it take to maintain integrity in a systern rife with. corruption? Tariq Khosa's gripping memoir offers a rare, unfiltered look inside Pakistan's corridors of power from a man who refused to compromise on his principles.

Over four tumultuous decades, Khosa rose from a young police officer to head of the Federal Investigation Agency, facing down terrorists, crime lords, and political pressure at every turn. His unflinching account exposes the deep-rooted challenges within Pakistan's criminal justice system while providing a masterclass in ethical leadership againut seemingly insurmountable odds.

This is not just another bureaucrat's mundane recollection. Khosa's narrative crackles with tension as he recounts high stakes confrontations with the powerful.

Walking a Tightrope goes beyond professional triumphs and setbacks. Khosa offers poignant reflections on the personal cost of his choices, the mentors who shaped him, and how he found meaning in service to his nation.
