Feluda. Starting with the first Feluda story, ýDanger in Darjeelingý ( 1965), in which Feluda and Topshe, his young cousin, grapple with anonymous letters, the young, keen-eyed detective grows more mature with each baffling crime he encounters. With amazing mental dexterity Feluda solves a gruesome murder case in ýTrouble in Gangtoký (1970), catches an unusual burglar in ýThe Anubis Mysteryý (1970), unravels the riddle of ýThe Keyý to a treasure (1973), lays a trap for the person who has stolen ýThe Gold Coins of Jehangirý (1983), and deals deftly with a group of kidnappers in ýThe Mystery of Nayaný (1990). The last story in this collection, ýRobertsonýs Rubyý ( 1992) was published after Satyajit Ray passed away, and brings to a close the glorious career of Feluda. In some of the stories Feluda and Topshe are assisted by Lalmohan Babu, alias Jatayu (a bumbling writer of crime fiction), who adds a touch of humour to the gripping action and high drama.
