Indurkal by Indranil Sanyal [Hardcover]

Scientist Nilanjan Chakraborty was deeply immersed in his research on the famine in Mizoram when, out of the blue, he vanished from a hotel in Aizawl! At the request of Mizoram's Chief Minister, detective Sunil Sen flew in from Kolkata to investigate. Upon arrival, Sunil discovered that four other individuals were staying at the same hotel: a rival scientist, a sly NGO worker, a political leader, and the missing scientist’s boss. As Sunil began questioning them about Nilanjan’s disappearance, he unraveled a web of professional and personal rivalries, clandestine affairs in exchange for money, drug smuggling, and anti-national political activities—all somehow tied to this case. Then, before Nilanjan could reappear, a newly arrived woman was found murdered in Aizawl. Who was she? Will detective Sunil Sen uncover the mystery behind the scientist’s disappearance? Or will he solve the chilling murder? Or are the two cases deeply intertwined? This is a spine-chilling novel that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Written by the master storyteller Indronil Sanyal, celebrated for his unparalleled expertise in crafting gripping thrillers, ‘Indurkal’ is a thrilling blend of suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists.
