Description:

In this early and much-loved Feluda mystery, the brilliant Bengali detective and his young cousin Topshe set off for a holiday in the picturesque Himalayan town of Gangtok, in Sikkim. Their relaxing trip takes a sinister turn when they become caught up in the apparent accidental death of a businessman — a death Feluda quickly suspects was a cleverly staged murder, linked to a rare and valuable Tibetan statue. As the case unfolds, the list of suspects grows to include the dead man's business partner, an estranged son, a long-haired foreign traveller, a timid stranger and a mysterious practitioner of the occult. With his trademark calm, logic and eye for detail, Feluda untangles the knot and tracks the culprit to a remote monastery. Rich with the atmosphere of mountains and monasteries, it's a gripping whodunnit and a wonderful introduction to India's favourite sleuth.
