Goyendapith Lalbazar 2 by Supratim Sarkar [Hardcover]

Revisiting eleven sensational cases in the city of Kolkata, this book traces the suspenseful ups and downs of each mystery. If the investigation of fictional detective stories takes place in the lush Eden Gardens, the real detective's playground is the rugged, unkempt neighborhood field. Rough and devoid of romance. The backstage story of producing the harvest of truth-seeking in that rough land is captured in this book, written in the gripping style of experienced IPS officer Supratim Sarkar. Spanning from 1948 to 2010, the author has chosen real-life stories in which every nook and cranny reflects the relentless hard work, infinite patience, meticulous dissection of criminal psychology, and the magic of intellectual prowess of Kolkata Police's Felu-Byomkesh.

This book contains examples of why Lalbazar is called 'Scotland Yard' on each page, and also includes accounts of rare failures in the history of Kolkata Police, like the Stone Man case. The Stone Man case from three decades ago remains an undisputed top choice in public curiosity. The author has resolved that curiosity with a detailed account.
