ABOUT THIS BOOK

When the light came on again, she had vanished.
Who had kissed me in the dark?
As no one came forward to admit to the deed, I could only make wild guesses.

A mysterious kiss from a stranger, a sudden infiltration of frogs in a fountain till they are sent off to a zoo, a dead hotel manager with a false nose, a case of death by poisoning that inspires a legendary detective. The stories in this collection bring out the joys, sorrows and excitement of life in a hill-station. Who Kissed Me in the Dark will entertain, amuse and bring a lump to the throat.
