Imran Series is one of the best-selling Urdu spy novels series created
by Pakistani writer Ibn-e-Safi. Ali Imran is the pivotal character, a
famous secret agent who controls the Secret Service as X-2 but appears
to be a non serious citizen who as a free lancer works for the Secret
Service. Except a handful of people, no one knows his status being the
chief of the Service. The first book, Khaufnaak Imarat (The Terrifying
Building), was published in October 1955. In early books Imran appears
as a solo detective, however, later he is portrayed as the chief of
Secret Service as X-2.
After Ibn-e-Safi,s demise many people attempted to write Imran Series
but no one could continuously produced this kind of Urdu books except
Mazhar Kaleem. Mazhar Kaleem produced more Imran series novels than
Ibn-e-Safi and has a wide readership and huge number of fans. He has
been writing these novels for the life time of Ibn-e-Safi and
continuously produces Imran Series novels till date.
