I am reading Dongri to Dubai by S. Hussain Zaidi.

Growing up in Mumbai in the 1980s/90s, I remember reading news stories about the Mumbai gang wars.

This book covers that in great detail and as such qualifies as a genuine history book.

And yet, it reads like a potboiler. It is essentially unputdownable.

The Hot Zone by Richard Preston.

It's about Ebola and a potential outbreak in Virginia. It reads like a thriller, and I have been terrified by Ebola after I read it.

There's a TV show of the same name that came out in 2019.
