“পৃথিবীর সবথেকে বুদ্ধিমান এবং নিখুঁত খুনি হিসেবে তুমি কাউকেই দাগিয়ে দিতে পারবে না। সহজ কারণ। যে খুনটা নিখুঁত হবে, তার খুনি হিসেবে তুমি কাউকে শনাক্ত করতে পারবে না। ভাববে আত্মহত্যা, বা অ্যাক্সিডেন্ট। আর শনাক্ত করলে, সেটা নিখুঁত হবে না।”
― Sakyajit Bhattacharya, শেষ মৃত পাখি

“One naked man was interesting, but two became a little awkward. When a third shouted 'good morning ' as he strode past in only walking boots and blue socks, I felt I had to put the stove away and carry on.”

“There was the whole collection of Arthur Conan Doyle, Maurice Leblanc’s Lupin series, and every translated work that the publishers Hakubunkan and Heibonsha had ever released. Then there was the Japanese section: it began with nineteenth-century novels by Ruiko Kuroiwa, and also featured Edogawa Ranpo, Fuboku Kozakai, Saburo Koga, Udaru Oshita, Takataro Kigi, Juza Unno, Mushitaro Oguri all crammed in together. And then as well as Japanese translations of Western novels, there were the original, untranslated works of Ellery Queen, Dickson Carr, Freeman Wills Crofts and Agatha Christie, etc. etc. etc. It was a magnificent sight: an entire library of detective novels.”
