Publisher's Synopsis
Chandralekha Mukherjee, once the heartthrob of Tollywood, is shot dead on stage by a co-actor. ACP Agastya Purakayastha's investigation reveals several possibilities. Chandralekha was the face of an artistes' movement against a production house which has monopolized the entertainment industry in Bengal. She was at the centre of a feud with the family of her father's business partner. Her animosity with an upcoming starlet, who was also the reason why her ex-lover had dumped her, was well-known. She was hated by the physically challenged widow of the director who had launched her and then got into a passionate relationship with her about a decade ago. Agastya finds out that Chandralekha was linked to three mysterious deaths that happened at different times and different places over the last fifteen years. The secret behind Chandralekha's murder was to be found in the dark recesses of her past. Death of the Diva unravels the darkness behind the limelight as it breezes through Kolkata's glamourous and convoluted worlds of business, politics and entertainment.
