Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
1943 Calcutta... a war... a mystery... and a detective...
A cerebral 1940s detective thriller that weaves a missing-person case into a larger wartime conspiracy, balancing procedural logic with period atmosphere and mounting paranoia.
Byomkesh, fresh out of college, agrees to investigate the disappearance of Bhuvan, a chemist. Assisted by Bhuvan's son Ajit, Byomkesh links the case to a larger conspiracy that will unsettle Calcutta.
