Treasure at Chunar Fort: An Inder Shastri Mystery

By Saroj K Tripathi

Ancient tunnels. Hidden treasure. Two bodies in the dark.

Chunar, Early 19th Century. Detective Inder Shastri descends into the legendary tunnels beneath Chunar Fort to search for a missing merchant's manager. Instead, he finds two corpses and a mystery that reaches back three thousand years.

Mangat Ram-murdered, his skull crushed.
Nakul-dead from terror, fleeing through the darkness.

The suspects:
A lying assistant who witnessed everything.
A disgraced soldier seeking redemption through gold.
A ruthless moneylender owed a killing debt.

The evidence:
Ancient symbols. Bloodstained metal. Torn fabric. Gold coins from the age of emperors.

In tunnels where kings once hid offerings to the gods, Inder must answer one question: When desperate men hunt treasure in the dark, who among them becomes a killer?

An Agatha Christie-style whodunit set in the exotic world of 19th century India.
