The Landlord’s Secret and Other Stories is a collection of eleven mystery and adventure stories featuring Ramesh, an adventure loving and self-styled boy detective. Ramesh’s close friend also finds himself dragged involuntarily into these adventures and writes, in first-hand and with great wit, about the challenges that the boys overcome and the mysteries that they solve. Ramesh’s persevering nature and sometimes very intelligent deductions ensure that criminals get caught and hidden secrets get discovered. This book is a must-read for every mystery loving teenager—and will also be enjoyed by adults who grew up reading and enjoying adventure and detective stories.
