About the Book
Lost in time, and tucked away in a tiny corner of Karnataka, is Himmatnagar, A place wrapped in forets and farmlands. One into which the outside world has forgotten to venture. A sleepy village…where the villagers can’t sleep!
Nope. Not a wink! Not with so many strange and sinister things afoot…
The grown-ups are worried. Confused. Terrified! Meanwhile, five children roll up their sleeves and jump in to crack the mystery. Their search leads them straight to the village cemetery…and a frightening stranger with matted hair!
