Shri Shri Ramakrishna Rahasyamrita

A mystery that had cast a melancholy yet mysterious shadow on the Bansha Biswas family of Howrah for more than hundred years seems to be unfolded by the combined effort of Harimoy Chowdhury, editor of the periodical Chamcham with HQ at the Hidaram Halder Lane, Howrah, Bhabanath Sen, a renowned writer, Piklu, a management undergraduate from Bombay, a DIG and Banshagolap Biswas who has returned to his roots after a series of grievous episodes made the Biswas to partially relocate at Benaras for years. But it seems some sinister gang of smugglers also has their noses on the scent. But what is the mystery? It seems to have its origin in the histories. The glorious incidents around Shri Shri Ramakrishna remain to be studied once more. Some newfound archives in the Biswas mansions reveal some new secrets as do a traditional practice that Chamcham editor performs each day on the request of the Biswas, four generations previous. The book is narrated with the signature Sankar touch and its easy flow seems to gain tremendous pace in the later pages. The finale is a cliffhanger and unique as contrary to the fictions with historical significance it keeps both the facts and fictions pure
