Jutoy Rakter Dag by Samaresh Majumdar [Hardcover]

In the beginning, there were two detectives working as a duo—Amal Som and young Arjun. Whether solving murder mysteries, uncovering the secret of the abduction of Sita, or the enigmatic lighter case, one after another, their thrilling investigations reached great popularity. Suddenly, government detective Amal Som vanished from sight. However, Arjun was no longer a young apprentice. As a confident and capable young man, he proved his mettle during the second part of the lighter case mystery. Arjun single-handedly uncovered a deep conspiracy during his trip to America.
This gripping novel begins as Arjun returns from that expedition. He intended to spend a few days in London with the Major, but plans took a turn. Just before stepping foot at Heathrow Airport, the Major ran into his old acquaintance, Mrs. Dora Grant. Dora Grant was not only a long-time friend but also a renowned magician with mysterious capabilities.
Accepting Dora Grant’s invitation changed the course of their journey. On the way, the Major whimsically bought a large pair of old shoes from a shop. These shoes unexpectedly became linked to a new mystery. A bloodstain on the shoes intrigued Arjun, leading him to discover a hidden note inside the shoes. Following the clues in the note, he found a stainless-steel box containing the key to a locker. What secrets does the locker hold? Treasure, or something else? Whose locker is it? And how was its clue hidden inside an old pair of shoes? Moreover, why is a group of killers relentlessly searching for these shoes?
This gripping tale begins on land but ends, as the title suggests, Bis Bao Jole (Twenty Arm’s Depth into Water). While originally serialized, Bis Bao Jole continues the storyline of Jutoy Rokter Dage (Bloodstain on Shoes). Now, these extraordinary young-adult mysteries have been brought together under one cover.
