Bikeler Mrityu by Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

Bikeler Mrityu (Death in the Afternoon) is an extraordinary novel that, upon its publication in Anandabazar Rabibashoriyo, kept readers from all walks of life eagerly anticipating the next chapter, week after week, with bated breath and deep fascination. This fast-paced novel, blending elements of love, mystery, science fiction, and adventure, is filled with intoxicating suspense from start to finish.

The protagonist of this story is Bobby Roy, an astonishing genius. He is the formidable boss of a multinational company in Kolkata, a wizard of electronics, skilled in karate and kung fu, a witty and absent-minded, short-statured, and sparsely-haired man. However, hidden behind Bobby Roy's name is a secret code. His private secretary, Leena, shares an unusual relationship with her boss. Bobby gifts her a car for personal use, a car that mysteriously speaks, sending shivers down one's spine.

The novel's excitement revolves around the mystery of this car, Bobby Roy's sudden disappearance, a fortress named "Neel Monjil" (Blue Mansion), death traps laid by conspirators, and the complex relationship between Leena and Bobby Roy. All these elements together create an irresistibly modern, suspenseful novel in Bikeler Mrityu.
