Bijaynagarer Hire by Sunil Gangopadhyay [Hardcover]

"It was the mid-fourteenth century. In Delhi, it was the reign of the mad king, Muhammad bin Tughlaq. In South India, two brothers named Harihara and Bukka had established the Vijayanagar Empire. There was constant conflict between Vijayanagar and its neighboring kingdom, Bahmani. Kakababu and his group were traveling to Hampi, the former capital of Vijayanagar, that time. It was a large group. Santu was there, of course, along with Jojo. There were also two others, Ranjan Ghoshal and his wife Rinku, who were close acquaintances of Kakababu. Normally, they were quite lively, but when faced with danger, they showed a different side—an extraordinary courage and presence of mind. And where Santu and Kakababu are, how long can danger stay away? The leisurely trip towards Vijayanagar quickly took a dramatic turn—towards an adventure filled with excitement and suspense. This extraordinary adventure, centered around a historical diamond even bigger and more precious than the Kohinoor, is narrated by Sunil Gangopadhyay in this thrilling, eventful, and captivating novel."
