Saradindu Bandyopadhyay's Byomkesh Bakshi mysteries, featuring the expert inquisitor Byomkesh Bakshi, started a new era in Bengali popular literature. Set in Raj-era Calcutta, these stories starring the astute investigator and his chronicler companion Ajit are as riveting and amusing today as they were when they first appeared.
Byomkesh's world is fascinating because of its present flavor, with superbly characterized characters and a brilliantly depicted pre-Independence metropolitan atmosphere.
These stories, now available in English for the first time in a magnificent translation, will captivate every fan of crime fiction, young and old.
