The Ghost of Golconda

Over three hundred years ago, the last king of Golconda entrusted his faithful companion with a secret before charging out to meet his enemies in a valiant, and doomed, last stand. Now, on the eve of the 500-year celebrations of the building of Golconda Fort, a priceless artefact has gone missing and reports are beginning of emerge of eerie music playing at the ancient citadel! With the public spooked and the police at a loss, the celebrations are in danger of being cancelled.

Why have the Golconda royals returned to haunt their ancient home?
Why the thief leave behind all the priceless jewelry?
And could Neel get any naughtier?
