Description:
One of the most thrilling cases in Satyajit Ray's beloved Feluda series sees the sharp-witted Bengali detective head to Bombay with his nephew and narrator Topshe and the comically nervous thriller-writer Jatayu. They've been invited to watch Jatayu's latest novel being turned into a Hindi film called Jet Bahadur. But trouble follows them: just after Jatayu innocently hands over a package to a stranger in a red shirt at the airport, a man is murdered in the elevator of the high-rise where the film's producer lives. Following a trail that involves a heady perfume and a priceless necklace, Feluda uses his trademark logic and keen powers of observation to untangle the mystery, leading to a heart-stopping climax aboard a train during a location shoot. Fast-paced, witty and cleverly plotted, it's a perfect whodunnit for young readers and a great introduction to India's favourite sleuth.
