The Hunter of Lalbazar - Paperback

by Suhit Sen (Author)

Description

The elite investigation unit of the Calcutta Police, headed by Joint

Commissioner of Police Tanya Samanta, is busy handling a hooch-death case.

But they are soon summoned to investigate a series of horrific crimes that

have stunned the city. A brutally assaulted woman is found on the banks of the

lake in Minto Park. A second woman wakes up at dawn in Survey Park after

suffering from a lethal blow to the head, her memory hazy. A young female

scholar, a visitor to the city, is raped, badly beaten and left for dead at the

Dhakuria Lake premises.

Tanya and her team are determined to hunt down the criminal. The chase

spans international borders, but he manages to escape. After lying low for a

few months, he returns to the city to attack a woman so violently, she almost

dies. Tanya hatches a fool-proof plan to nail him. But will she be able to win

the game of cat and mouse before time runs out?

The Hunter of Lalbazar captures the dark shadows haunting the streets of

Calcutta. Corrupt cops and scheming politicians control the city's underbelly.

Murder and gore, extortion and blackmail-nothing is off limits. As the chase

for the criminal heats up, Tanya and her team are pushed to the limit and

called upon to confront the sinister forces within their own ranks.

Tightly plotted, crackling with suspense, this hardboiled thriller also delves

deep into the human heart and the evil that lurks within.
