Tapurdir Goyendagiri by Somja Das [Hardcover]

Tapurdi—real name Sanghamitra Banerjee—is a private detective by profession. With her razor-sharp intellect and web of logic, she effortlessly corners even the most seasoned criminals. Alongside her trusted companion Mitul, she dives fearlessly into danger. Be it unraveling a conspiracy in the tea gardens of Kurseong, solving the ancient riddle of a forgotten ballad, tracking down a missing businessman in the heart of Kolkata, or probing the mysterious death of a restaurateur—Tapurdi leaves her mark with her sharp wit and investigative brilliance. To Mitul, detective Tapurdi is both a loving elder sister and a true friend. Her dynamic with Arjun, a young officer of the Kolkata Police, adds a unique dimension to the stories. And that is precisely where the magic lies—breaking free from the conventional ‘form’ of detective fiction, Tapurdi’s stories evolve into a refreshing new narrative style.
