Description:

One of the most thrilling and atmospheric cases in Satyajit Ray's classic detective series takes Feluda, his nephew Topshe and the comical thriller-writer Jatayu to the holy city of Varanasi during the Durga Puja festival. Amid the bustle of the riverside ghats and the buzz around a mysterious holy man, a small but priceless gold-and-diamond statuette of the elephant god Ganesh is stolen from the wealthy Ghoshal family. As Feluda sets out to recover it, the case grows ever more dangerous: there is a stabbing in a dark alley, a fraudulent sadhu to unmask, a murder to solve, and a terrifying showdown with the ruthless arch-villain Maganlal Meghraj and his knife-throwing henchman. Putting all of Feluda's courage, logic and sharp deduction to the test, this is a spine-tingling whodunnit set against the vivid backdrop of Varanasi — and a wonderful introduction to India's favourite sleuth.
