There is perhaps no greater Bengali detective series than the famed writer and Oscar-winning director Satyajit Ray's Feluda (ফেলুদা) series. From his humble abode in 21 Rajani Sen Road, Ballygonj, Kolkata, Feluda or Prodosh Chandra Mitra, (প্রদোষ চন্দ্র মিত্র) becomes a celebrated private investigator over a series of 35+ novels and short stories, traveling all over India and beyond with his cousin and ever present "satellite" Topshe (Tapesh Ranjan Mitra) and his lighthearted but dependable friend Jatayu (Lalmohan Ganguly). Replete with drama, suspense, intriguing characters and Ray's unique brand of quaint humor, Feluda stories always hold a class of their own. Starting from Feludar Goendagiri in 1965, there have been 35 complete stories which include full-length novels and short stories and 2 unfinished stories, many of which have been turned into feature films for both the big screen and television. These have included such luminaries as Soumitra Chatterjee and Sabyasachi Chakrabarty and have been directed both by Satyajit Ray's son Sandip Ray and Satyajit Ray himself. Even after half a century of the publication of the first Feluda, the series still earns new fans every day.

Feludar Goendagiri (ফেলুদার গোয়েন্দাগিরি - 1965, English title "Danger in Darjeeling") is the very first story the Feluda series by legendary Bengali author Satyajit Ray. It was first published in 1965 in the children's magazine Sandesh and introduces Feluda and his cousin Topshe who is the narrator of all the stories. In this story, Feluda, Topshe and Topshe's father visit Darjeeling as tourists for a few days. There, Feluda and Topshe meet Rajen Majumdar (Rajen-babu), a retired lawyer originally from Kolkata. After retirement, Rajen-babu has developed an interest in antiques, and has built quite a formidable collection in a span of a few months. Rajen-babu has been threatened by a letter posted to him, which mentions that he will be punished soon for misdeeds of his past. Rajen-babu panics and agrees to have Feluda investigate the matter. Among the suspects are Tinkori Mukhopadhyay, a renowned Bengali detective-fiction writer who is staying at Rajen-babu's house as a paying guest for a few days, Abani Ghoshal, an antique property dealer and Prabir Majumdar, Rajen Majumdar's estranged son who was thrown out of the house by Rajen-babu for trying to steal money. All of the intrigues and twists make this story a classic Feluda mystery and a harbinger of great things to come!
