Description:

Set against the atmospheric forests, hot springs and rocky riverbanks of Hazaribagh, this is one of the most intriguing cases in Satyajit Ray's classic detective series. Feluda, his nephew Topshe and the comical thriller-writer Jatayu arrive in town just as strange events begin to swirl around the wealthy and superstitious Mahesh Chowdhury and his family. After an unsettling incident near the desolate Chhinnamasta temple at Rajrappa, the family patriarch suddenly dies — leaving behind only a few cryptic, dying gestures and a set of coded diaries. With a tiger escaped from the local circus prowling the streets and a valuable stamp collection mysteriously missing, Feluda must sift superstition from fact and use his sharp logic to uncover long-buried family secrets. Blending suspense, humour and a clever celebration of rational thinking over fear, it shows the master sleuth at his very best.
