The Malabar Coast.
One of India’s most exotic regions. Adorned with endless beaches and impenetrable rainforests. Part of the Silk and Spice route. Steeped in history.
It has fought its battles and won its victories. It has seen its heroes and their heroics.
But It has also seen its criminals and their crimes.
Two of the most mind bending ones, pulled out from the archives of The Malabar Tribune newspaper, are narrated in this collection.
Nobody thought a dance could be weaponized until Velan unraveled the mechanics of the crime.
Nobody believed that the missing tribesmen would ever come back. If not for Velan’s death defying efforts, finding a needle in a haystack would have been a tad easier.
Crimes that shook Malabar.
Solved by Detective Velan Poulose of Travancore.
