Bossman and The Thrown Away Family

On a walk on the Delhi Ridge, Bossman, the Nath Children’s bandy-legged bulldog, unearths a family photo-album in a garbage dump. The children, Aloke, Shalu, Tara and Shama are upset by this discovery - why on earth would anyone want to throw away an album full of happy family photographs? But then, a faded horrible anonymous death-threat letter is discovered in the album too, and the mystery takes a sinister turn. Especially since bossman, in his usual bumbling way helps the children discover the house where the ‘Thrown Away Family’ once lived. A house that even now, appears to be under watch. And suddenly matters go headlong and horribly out of control as the children find themselves to face with a dangerous armed criminal !
