Boighore Barud by Souvik Das [Hardcover]

Dipa Karmakar—a remarkable name in cricket-obsessed India. One day, she soared on the wings of millions of hopes.

But what happened to Tutun? One night, while chasing the beam of an undisturbed torch in the library, his father, Pranab Babu, mysteriously disappeared. Was he lost in another dimension of the library? Magic? Murder? After that night, Tutun could never become Dipa. And Pranab Babu’s torch? It was found in the Egyptian section of the National Library.

415 AD, the city of Ra-Kedet, Egypt—the final moments of an extraordinary human architectural wonder were unfolding. In an instant, civilization was set back thousands of years. Had that event not occurred, perhaps Columbus wouldn’t have sailed to discover a new world—perhaps he would have flown to the Moon instead.

What was this architectural marvel? What was the truth behind that fateful event? And how was it connected to Pranab Babu’s mystery?

On the very night the world witnessed Dipa Karmakar’s historic feat, did Tutun manage to solve the mystery of his father’s disappearance? Or had he unknowingly stepped into a grand conspiracy?
