Description:

This atmospheric jungle adventure from Satyajit Ray's classic detective series sends Feluda deep into the forests of North Bengal, near the Bhutan border. Together with his nephew Topshe and the comical thriller-writer Jatayu, the master sleuth is invited to the palatial home of Mahitosh Sinha-Roy, a famous big-game hunter and wildlife writer. There Feluda is handed an old riddle, written long ago by an ancestor, that supposedly points the way to hidden family treasure. But before he can crack the puzzle, Sinha-Roy's secretary is found dead in the forest, his body savaged by a tiger. As Feluda digs deeper, his clever deductions uncover a long-buried family secret — and lead to a tense final confrontation with a prowling man-eating Royal Bengal tiger. Blending a treasure-hunt puzzle, a baffling death and edge-of-the-seat danger, this is a thrilling read that showcases both Feluda's razor-sharp mind and his quick reflexes, and makes a wonderful introduction to India's favourite detective.
