Description:

The very first adventure in Satyajit Ray's much-loved detective series introduces readers to the brilliant young sleuth Feluda and his teenage cousin and assistant, Topshe. The pair are enjoying a Durga Puja holiday in the historic city of Lucknow, staying with a family friend, when an acquaintance shows them a priceless ring that once belonged to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Almost at once the ring vanishes — and Feluda, convinced that mystery follows him wherever he goes, eagerly takes up the case. His investigation winds through Lucknow's nawabi grandeur, the famous labyrinth of the Bhool Bhulaiya, and an eccentric collector's private menagerie of deadly creatures, before climbing to a tense, snake-filled showdown in a forest log cabin near Laxmanjhoola. Fast-paced, atmospheric and rich in North Indian colour, it's both a satisfying whodunnit and the perfect place to begin discovering India's favourite detective.
