Description:

In one of the most chilling entries in Satyajit Ray's classic detective series, super-sleuth Feluda travels to the seaside town of Puri with his nephew Topshe and the bumbling thriller-writer Jatayu, hoping for a quiet holiday by the beach. Their break is soon disrupted when a priceless scroll, owned by the eccentric collector D.G. Sen, is stolen — followed swiftly by a mysterious murder. As Feluda begins to investigate, he finds himself surrounded by a strange cast of suspects, from Sen's son and his secretary to a wildlife photographer and a smooth-talking astrologer. Drawn to a spooky abandoned house nearby, the trio inch closer to a cold-blooded criminal who must be stopped before he strikes again. With its eerie atmosphere, clever clues and Ray's trademark wit, this is a gripping, fast-paced whodunnit and a wonderful introduction to India's favourite detective.
