Description:

This twisty, fast-moving case from Satyajit Ray's classic detective series begins with what seems like the simplest of problems. A wealthy gentleman hires Feluda to track down his blue briefcase, which was accidentally swapped with an identical one belonging to a fellow passenger aboard the Kalka Mail train. But what looks like a harmless errand quickly turns into one of the master sleuth's most thrilling adventures. Joined by his nephew Topshe and the comical thriller-writer Jatayu, Feluda follows the trail of the missing briefcase — and a priceless manuscript hidden inside — all the way to the hill town of Simla. Along the way the trio are stalked, ambushed in a dark alley and even knocked unconscious, raising the question of what makes this briefcase so valuable. The hair-raising climax on Simla's snowy slopes reveals a devilishly clever plot. Suspenseful and rich in atmosphere, it's a perfect introduction to India's favourite detective.
