Over three hundred years ago, the last king of Golconda entrusted his faithful companion with a secret before charging out to meet his enemies in a valiant, and doomed, last stand. Now, on the eve of the 500-year celebrations of the building of Golconda Fort, a priceless artefact has gone missing and reports are beginning of emerge of eerie music playing at the ancient citadel! With the public spooked and the police at a loss, the celebrations are in danger of being cancelled.
- Why have the Golconda royals returned to haunt their ancient home?
- Why the thief leave behind all the priceless jewelry?
- And could Neel get any naughtier?
The Sen Kids are ready for the challenge. Are you? *** Warning: Holiday Reading Only ***
Set in the stunning ruins of a 500-year old fort in southern India, the Ghost of Golconda blends medieval history and engineering, a dollop of fiction and a touch of potty humor into a real nail-biter. So, parents, make sure you give this book to your kids on a holiday - or be ready to give them a day off from school! The Sen Kids
- Nikhil (Nick) Sen: Clever, slightly nerdy tween with a taste for puzzles and strong distaste for creepy-crawlies
- Neel Sen: Nick's brother, a seven-year old with attitude and an appetite. Brave, headstrong man of action
- Anasuya (Anna) Ghosh: Cousin of the Sen brothers, she is studious, disciplined and tough. The teen that keeps everyone in line, even the bad guys.

Great authorship and I hope to encourage the author that a cultural twist to Nancy Drew is greatly welcomed!
Took me back to my own childhood adventures. Kept me engaged throughout. Would recommend this for both children and adults.
I loved the suspense and the element of surprise along with the mystery. Overall an amazing book. I am looking forward to the next book.
