Colonel Samagra (Vol 6) by Syed Mustafa Siraj [Hardcover]

Colonel Niladri Sarkar is an exceptional addition to Bengali mystery literature. With his Santa Claus-like white beard, quirky cap, and the butterfly net peeking out from his backpack, he carries binoculars and a camera around his neck. This large, elderly man, who possesses the strength of a young person, could easily be mistaken for a foreign tourist at first glance. However, he is Bengali and a well-spoken gentleman. In search of rare birds, butterflies, cacti, and orchids, he roams through rugged mountains, jungles, and historical ruins.

But his true passion lies in solving mysteries. Whenever a mysterious murder or a heinous crime occurs—or even at the slightest hint of one—he rushes to the scene. With ease, he untangles the intricate webs of complex mysteries. Whenever young journalist Jayanta Chowdhury or private detective K. K. Haldar, also known as Haldar Master, arrives at the Colonel's apartment, readers find themselves sitting up straight. This is because the onset of a terrifyingly intricate mystery is inevitable.

In Bengali literature, Syed Mustafa Siraj has left his mark with his talent. However his skill in crafting mystery stories is demonstrated through his creation of Colonel Niladri Sarkar. Every action of the Colonel keeps readers breathless from beginning to end.
