All Bengali Crime Detectives

The All Bengali Crime Detectives narrates the story of four misfit detectives who are hot on the trail of a criminal. The crime committed is not as straightforward as it seems. As the novel progresses, the four realize that something dangerous is going to occur if they do not catch the perpetrator on time.

The boring lives of these four retired men change completely when they follow the trail of the criminal in hopes of solving the crime before it is too late. Besides the crime, the novel also introduces the subplots of the Bengali girl about to be married off, the competition with the neighbourhood clubs for the best Durga Puja pandal, and the problems created by a jobless Romeo-like figure.

The author provides a light and hilarious account of the daily lives of the Bengali people, their eccentricities, and their love for food and people.
