The Emperor's Ring: The Adventures of Feluda

Author: Satyajit Ray

Price : $ 15 (Includes shipping)
Book review
A mysterious incident in Nepal. A dead body on the beaches of Puri. A murder in an abandoned house…

The search for a valuable scroll leads Feluda and his friends to a strange case of characters, and perhaps the most chilling case Feluda has ever been faced with. For among D.G.Sen, the collector of scrolls, his son Mahim, his secretary Nishit, the wildlife photographer Bilas Majumdar and the astrologer Laxman Bhattacharya, there is a cold-blooded criminal, and he must be stopped before it is too late…

Feluda’s twelve greatest adventures are now available in special Puffin editions. This is the eleventh book in the series.


Feluda, a.k.a. Pradosh Mitter, arrives in the city of Lucknow on vacation with his cousin, Tapesh. The duo are just beginning to enjoy their holiday when a priceless ring, which originally belonged to the Emperor Aurangzeb, goes missing from their host’s house. Feluda and Tapesh promptly set off on the trail of the Emperor’s Ring, but before they solve the mystery of its disappearance, they must contend with death threats, menacing sannyasis and an animal trainer with murder on his mind.

A Mysterious Case starts out as an ordinary complaint lodged by Dinanath Lahiri whose attache case, containing an invaluable manuscript on Tibet, gets exchanged with a case belonging to a fellow passenger on the train. Feluda and Tapesh are joined on this investigation by Lalmohan Ganguly, alias Jatayu, a bumbling writer of cheap thrillers. The seemingly uncomplicated case quickly acquires dangerous overtones—a criminal assault, fights and a slew of desperate men plotting out to stop Feluda—but the tough and unorthodox detective and his assistants refuse to give up ... until the mystery is solved.
