At each reading, one can only marvel at the writer’s genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetective fiction has never lacked devoted fans. The undying popularity of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot vouch for that fact. In the early thirties, a detective by the name of Byomkesh Bakshi made an unobtrusive entry into the world of Bengali fiction. He preferred calling himself a satyanneshi, a seeker of truth, and within days was household name, courtesy his cerebral skills and the exciting situations he found himself in. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the tradition of Doyle and Christie, Byomkesh is accompanied on his adventures by his friend, Ajit, slightly obtuse and the perfect foil to him. And unlike his Western counterparts, he possesses no idiosyncracy of behaviour-he is an educated, urbane young man, blessed with a sharp intelligence and strong powers of observation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe translator of these stories, Monimala Dhar, is the Vice-principal of Loreto Convent, Shillong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Deadly diamond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Hidden Heirloom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Avenger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Man in a Red Coat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Phantom Client\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuicksand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoom Number Two\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Saradindu Bandyopadhay \/ Rupa \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153722110320,"sku":"7937","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/7937.jpg?v=1793913107","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/byomkesh-bakshi-stories","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
