Maran Batas

The only thing that is not appropriate is its title. Suchitra Bhattacharya’s sleuth Mitin once more gets involved in an apparently simple case where the murderer seems to be already apprehended. With piles of evidence against her, Mitin seems confused as to the motive though DC DD Anischoy Majumar is quite certain about it. But there seems to be no better rationale than that proposed by the police against the murderer – the wife of the victim who is again handicapped! But something seems fishy and Mitin launches an investigation of her own. A startling twist awaits the readers as the mystery deepens with new findings. Written within the span of only a few pages the author once again plots a psychological thriller that will no doubt stimulate the grey cells.
