Mystery of the Ambush in India

A bright sunset paints the Hooghly River in dazzling colors as three adventurous teens—Biff, a daring sixteen‑year‑old, his Brazilian friend Kamuka, and Li, a skilled Hawaiian diver—stand on the deck of the freighter Northern Star in bustling Calcutta. Their lively banter about distant mountains and deep mines hints at the curiosity that drives them, while the rhythmic hum of steamers, sailboats, and tugs fills the air with an exotic sense of possibility.

Just as the tidal bore begins to surge, the boys notice a lone silhouette slipping along an old pier, clutching a mysterious sealed packet. The quiet tension of that hidden figure sets the stage for a puzzling hunt through the crowded waterfront, where secret messages and unexpected allies may soon emerge. Listeners will be drawn into a vivid world of river traffic, cultural clashes, and the first clues of an intrigue that could reshape the friends’ journey across India.
