This book is a bouquet of touching stories and sweet and sad memories. The life and times of Dacoit Queen Putli Bai,–also the title of this book, re-lives the life and times–in the infamous Chambal ravines–of a lady dacoit who accepts a young police officer as her brother and agrees to surrender, but whom the destiny drags into internecine rivalries and jealousies–of various dacoit gangs. What happened to Dacoit Queen Gudiya and to the informer?
The book also contains many romantic tragedies–each exploring layer-by-layer, the intricacies of men-women relationships–leaving reader spell-bound. What happened that night in Dehradun express when after a gap of 18 years, he landed into a first class coupe and found Vimalaji sitting there, all alone?
Das Babu was advised by a very famous astrologer to wear a nine carat coral ring as protection against health hazards. The same ring is recovered a few months later, from his fully rotten dead body–hands tied with an iron wire at the back.
Presented in this very attractive bouquet, are eight short stories and one short novel originating in the very incisive mind of–and also given words to, by the former Governor of Nagaland and Manipur–O.N. Shrivastava.
