In the summer of 1972, Basrur’s most unlikely detective is back—
Bhujang Shetty, clean-shaven, 21, aviator-wearing, part-time sleuth and full-time lime-juice vendor at Shetty’s Juice Parlour – Est. 1949.
What begins as a peaceful life of cutting fruits and pretending to read detective novels quickly spirals into a globe-tilting adventure when the Governor of Goa summons him to investigate the theft of an ancient solid-gold Kadamba throne—a relic holding secrets powerful enough to alter the course of civilization.
From the streets of Basrur to gun-smoke-soaked harbours in Goa to the shadowy halls of a German castle, this action-comedy adventure blends history, mythology, humour, chaos, friendship, a hint of romance—and a whole lot of citrus.
Because sometimes the fate of the world doesn’t rest on a hero.
It rests on a juice seller who refuses to give up hope.

Gautham V Kedoor
Gautham V Kedoor has spent the last 16 years mastering the art of retail mathematics and supply chain logistics in India, all while creating world-class products and building successful companies.
With a knack for turning numbers into magic and supply chains into well-oiled machines, he’s earned his stripes in the world of business. But, in between his corporate conquests, he occasionally puts pen to paper, crafting what can best be described as love letters to his hometown of Udupi—full of nostalgia, humour, history and the occasional yearning for a simpler life.
When he’s not busy revolutionising the corporate world, He dreams of one day settling back in Udupi, ideally with a nice beach view and a cold beer in hand.
