R.A.W. Hitman: The Real Story of Agent Lima is a 2023 Indian non-fiction crime title authored by journalist Hussain Zaidi.[1] Achieving best seller status within three weeks,[2] this work narrates the journey of former Research and Analysis Wing operative Lucky Bisht, popularly known as Agent Lima.[3] Released by Simon & Schuster on July 4, 2023, it represents the publisher’s second Indian market launch.[4] The publication features a foreword penned by ex-Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar.[5]

Although certain media outlets have described it as a biography,[6] Zaidi clarified in an interview with The Telegraph that the narrative concentrates solely on a segment of Bisht’s professional life, deliberately omitting his early years and private affairs.[7]

Characterized as an intense "fiery tale" by the Hindustan Times,[8] the book has garnered praise from notable figures in Indian cinema such as Vishal Bhardwaj, Anees Bazmee, and Jacqueline Fernandez.[9] Additionally, it was honored as the leading crime genre book by Mint (newspaper).[10]

A follow-up installment titled R.A.W Hitman 2: The Assassinations was released in 2024.[11][12]
