Sometimes you go out looking for ghosts and sometimes the ghosts come looking for you . . .
When nearly-13-year-old Kartik Godse's mother informs him that they are to move from Mumbai to the small hill station of Kurseong, he thinks that he will die - of sheer boredom. However, he couldn't be more wrong. On his very first day in the sleepy town, he is accosted by a frightened man and attacked by two strangers. And so begins a spiral down an unexpected vortex of intruders, ghosts, hauntings and rumours. Armed with good instincts, a sharp scientific mind and two unlikely companions - gentle Tashi and the firebrand Opus - Kartik takes on the role of ghost hunter and private eye to unravel a web of mystery, deceit and supernatural events!
At the centre of it all stands the old and dilapidated mansion called the Iyer Bungalow. What is the mystery of this house? What do its ghosts want and what role does the mysterious DPRS have in all of this?
Join this brave trio as they make their way through the twisted bylanes of Kurseong, hot on the heels of villains both real and ghostly...
