In his foreword to his book, Satyajit Ray, the noted film-maker, confesses that he has been an avid reader of crime fiction for a very long time. This deep interest led Ray to trying his own hand at the genre. The response of the first Feluda story startled him as he writes, I scarcely imagined he would prove so popular that I would be forced to write a Feluda novel every year. The novellas in this collection are the authors own favourites from among the numerous Feluda stories he has written. F...eluda, urbane, intellectually-inclined, trademark Charminar in mouth, sets out to solve a series of particularly baffling crimes ranging from a kidnapping in Rajasthan to a locked-room murder in an old Calcutta house.
