ABOUT THIS BOOK

Crisp, intriguing and fast-paced, a detective novel for mystery lovers

 

Sameer found himself attempting to try and solve the case on his own, which was the only option he now had. It was a huge risk.

Sameer, a boy from a small town, gets admitted to the elite boarding school, Kingston High. As he doesn’t know anybody, Sameer initially finds it hard to adjust, until a football match turns things—and his luck—around. He slowly starts gaining popularity as the co-captain of the team and a rising football star, while also getting into scrapes and misadventures with his new-found friend, Ravi.

However, the good times don’t last very long. Just before the end of the first semester, a boy goes missing, causing an uproar on campus. Conspiracy theories and scandalous gossip spread like wildfire among the students in the midst of a police investigation. Where could the boy have vanished in a perfectly secure, high-security building? Is there a criminal on the premises? Can Sameer join the pieces together and crack the puzzle?

Crisp, intriguing and fast-paced, The Curious Case of the Boarding School will pique your curiosity, send shivers down your spine and compel you to don your own detective hat!
