A trip to a seemingly harmless hotel in the jungles of Africa turns deadly for Kakababu and Santu? Will they be able to solve the mysterious happenings in the hotel?
Young Santu and his uncle Raja Roychoudhary, better known as Kakababu, accidentally land in a terrific adventure in Africa this time. They are the guests of a business group, on their way to a hotel in the jungle, but things start going wrong from the very beginning. They receive death threats and survive an attempt on their lives.
Little do they realize that things are about to get much worse. The hotel is not at all what it seems, and in the jungle, there is danger at every step. Santu and Kakababu are forced to confront everything from the mysteries of past crimes to ruthless poachers and mercenaries, sinister hotel staff to the wilderness of Africa, its fearsome beasts, and its fierce tribesmen . . .
Who is a friend? Who is a foe? What crimes are being committed, by whom, and why? What is it that the villains are after, in a world-famous game reserve which has no other riches than its fabulous wildlife? Can the duo find out? Can they even survive? The excitement never stops in A Hotel in the Jungle.
