Sob Aparadh Shotti by Panchanan Ghoshal [Hardcover]

A skilled police officer by profession and a remarkable contributor to literature - Panchanan Ghoshal carved a unique space for himself. Building on the legacy of Priyanath Mukhopadhyay, famed for his true crime mysteries, Ghoshal took crime writing to greater heights with his mastery in criminology and storytelling.

Unfortunately, much of Panchanan Ghoshal’s gripping novels and memoirs are no longer widely available. To honor this legendary writer, we have compiled four of his thrilling works into a single volume titled Sob Aparadh Shottyi . This collection includes three outstanding novels - Khoon Ranga Raatri, Raktonadir Dharaand Pocketmaar - set against the backdrop of 1940s Kolkata, weaving through the independence movement and the tragic riots of 1946. The book also features a semi-autobiographical narrative, Police Kahini, offering a firsthand glimpse into the life of a cop. Panchanan Ghoshal’s novels don’t just narrate crimes—they bring to life an era, combining suspense with historical and social realism. This rare compilation ensures that his legacy as a pioneer of Bengali crime writing is preserved and cherished by readers old and new.
