Goyendapith Lalbazar by Supratim Sarkar [Hardcover]

There is a vast difference between fictional detectives like Feluda-Byomkesh and real-life investigators. Real-life crime investigation involves less thrill and excitement and more hard work and perseverance. The world of investigation is more about construction than creation. Identifying the criminal marks the end of a fictional detective's job. For real detectives, the duty doesn't end at solving the crime; there is no rest until the perpetrator is punished through meticulous investigation. In this book by experienced IPS officer Supratim Sarkar, the breathless backstories of twelve sensational murder cases in Kolkata are captured, along with the achievements of flesh-and-blood detectives and the whys, whats, and hows of the investigation. The comparison between the detective hub Lalbazar and Scotland Yard is justified in this book. It provides ample content for mystery-loving readers to savor. It's not just the flow of crime events but the engaging writing and gripping composition that mark this book's effortless journey into a new genre of crime literature.
