About the Book
“I am not meant to squeeze lemons! I am meant to squeeze secrets out of criminals!”
In the sleepy coastal town of Basrur in the 1970s, Bhujang Shetty is tired of peeling fruit and serving lime juice at his father’s parlour. Armed with detective novels, golden-framed aviators, and a thirst for action, he is waiting for a real mystery to arrive.
When his childhood friend Rathnesha begs for help, Bhujang’s wish comes true. Bhagya Hegde is trapped in a marriage arrangement with the wealthy and ruthless Rakesh Nayak, and the only way to stop it is to uncover the Hegde family’s legendary lost treasure. It begins with a cryptic poem, a forgotten Portuguese past, and the name ‘Queen of Barcelor’.
As they follow a trail of clues through crumbling mansions, long-buried betrayals, and a slightly eccentric professor, it is soon revealed that the true prize may not be gold at all, but a long-forgotten chapter of history waiting to be brought back to light.
With only seven days left before Bhagya’s wedding, can Basrur’s self-declared detective solve the mystery in time?
