Miss Manorma Guhathakurta, by now a formidable amateur sleuth with two solved cases under her belt, always seemed to attract trouble. Much to the dismay of her long-suffering friends and family, wherever she went, trouble always followed, which strangely excited rather than unnerved her. Thus, when circumstances led to her venturing to the grand estate of Merksdun, history would prove to repeat itself. What started as a simple trip to a country estate quickly turns into a matter of life and death. Mysterious incidents leading up to startlingly violent crimes shock both the house and the surrounding village. Manorma, an adept at solving such cases, would never pass up the opportunity to investigate and unmask the true culprit. However, she quickly discovers that this case will not be like the last two, with each crime pointing towards a sinister conspiracy that she could never have imagined. This time, however, she would not be alone. Help comes from a not entirely unexpected source; a special someone who always loved to indulge her incessant desire for sleuthing. A fortunate helping hand indeed, which she will need as she embarks on her most dangerous, elusive case yet.
