A Case Book of Mysteries (Book 2)

Some mysteries are meant to be solved. Others are meant to remain buried.

Enter a world of secrets, deception, murder, hidden fortunes, forbidden knowledge, and impossible crimes in A Case Book of Mysteries (Book 2) by Gitangshu Adhikary, the second collection of gripping cases featuring the brilliant and relentless Detective Chand Adhikary.

From an ancient English manor and the mist-covered moors of Dartmoor to the shadowy streets of Kolkata and the glamorous international art world, Chand encounters four cases that challenge his powers of deduction-and place lives at risk.

In "Shadows of Greystone Manor," Mona Banerjee inherits an imposing ancestral mansion, only to encounter strange sounds, unexplained disturbances, hidden doors, and an overwhelming sense that someone-or something-is trying to drive her away. Chand's investigation reveals a secret buried within the manor's history and a hidden fortune that someone is willing to pursue at any cost.

In "The Discovery at Hightor House," a mysterious death draws Chand into an investigation involving ancient books, cryptic symbols, secret rituals, and forbidden occult knowledge. What begins as a murder investigation gradually becomes something far more terrifying, forcing Chand to confront a threat that challenges the boundaries between reason and the supernatural.

In "The Kolkata Killer," radio presenter Sunny Lama receives a chilling telephone call from someone who appears to know the details of a murder before they become public. When the calls continue, Chand is drawn into a deadly game of prediction and pursuit. Following a trail through Kolkata's darker streets and hidden locations, he races to stop the next victim while uncovering the identity of the mysterious caller.

In "Galleries of Guilt and Intrigue," the international art world becomes the setting for a deadly conspiracy. Murdered art critics, bizarre red sculptures, forged masterpieces, stolen artworks, and financial manipulation lead Chand and his partner Deb Guha into a complex criminal network spanning continents. What appears to be a collection of unrelated crimes ultimately reveals an elaborate empire built on deception, greed, and murder.

Each case presents a different mystery, setting, and threat, but Chand faces them all with the same determination: look beyond appearances and uncover the truth.

A locked door may conceal a fortune.
A mysterious death may hide an ancient secret.
A telephone call may be a warning-or a confession.
And a priceless masterpiece may be nothing more than an elaborate lie.

With atmospheric settings, intriguing clues, dangerous confrontations, unexpected revelations, and mysteries that keep unfolding until the final stages, A Case Book of Mysteries (Book 2) is ideal for readers who enjoy detective fiction, murder mysteries, crime thrillers, Gothic suspense, supernatural mysteries, international intrigue, hidden secrets, and unexpected twists.

Four extraordinary cases. Four worlds of danger and deception. One detective who refuses to stop until the truth is uncovered.

Enter the case files. Follow the clues. Question everything.

Because the most dangerous mystery is often the one that looks simplest at first.
