Synopsis

'Hundreds of people visit Tagore every day. They eat and then leave. How would I know where they go or what they do ... Whether they go missing or get lost ...'

When ace detective Noore Chhafa arrives in the sleepy town of Sundarpur to probe a series of unexplained disappearances, he becomes entangled in a web of secrets surrounding a mysterious restaurant named Tagore Never Ate Here and its enigmatic owner, Mushkan Zubeiri. As Chhafa delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a chilling connection between Mushkan's past, a gravedigger's eerie predictions and a decades-old tragedy.

As the line between culinary artistry and sinister manipulation blurs with each revelation, Chhafa finds himself navigating local politics, supernatural occurrences and his own growing obsession with the truth. But in a town where every meal could be your last, will he become the next victim of Mushkan's irresistible cuisine?

A masterful blend of elements of magical realism and a gripping detective narrative, Mohammad Nazim Uddin's Rabindranath Ekhane Kokhono Khete Ashenni has been a consistent bestseller in its original Bengali avatar. In this superb translation, V. Ramaswamy uses his deft skill to bring this deliciously dark mystery to a whole new set of readers.
