BYOMKESH BAKSHI STORIES

Detective fiction has never
lacked devoted fans. The undying popularity of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule
Poirot vouch for that fact. In the early thirties, a detective by the name of
Byomkesh Bakshi made an unobtrusive entry into the world of Bengali fiction.
He preferred calling himself a satyanneshi, a seeker of truth and within days
was a household name, courtesy his cerebral skills and the exciting
situations he found himseft in. In the tradition of Doyle and Christie,
Byomkesh is accompanied on his adventures by his friend, Ajit, Slightly
obtuse and the perfect foil to him.
