Tin Goyenda (Bengali: তিন গোয়েন্দা) means 'Three Detectives' in Bengali. It's a super popular series of detective books for young readers. These books were written by Rakib Hasan and published in Bangladesh by Sheba Prokashoni.

The Tin Goyenda series is part of a bigger collection called Kishore Thriller (which means 'juvenile thriller'). There's also another series called Kishore Thriller Adventure. In 2014, the Tin Goyenda books were even turned into a TV show! Kabyo Shagore Nurul Momen played the main character, Kishore Pasha.

Meet the Main Characters

Tin Goyenda tells the exciting stories of three teenage detectives. They are great at solving mysteries and love going on adventures.

The three best friends, Kishore Pasha, Musa Aman, and Robin Milford, formed the Tin Goyenda team. Sometimes, Georgina Parker, often called Jina, joins them with her pet dog, Rafi. The team lives in Rocky Beach, a small town by the sea in California, USA. They all go to the same high school. These detectives are usually around 13 or 14 years old.

Musa lives with his parents. His dad works with special effects for movies. Musa isn't a big fan of reading books, but he loves animals. He's very loyal to his friends and has been incredibly brave, even climbing a burning house to save a little boy!

Robin Milford: The Researcher

Robin Milford's family came from Ireland. He is the team's bookworm and researcher. People sometimes call him a 'moving encyclopedia' because he knows so much! Robin works part-time at the Rocky Beach Library and a local music company. He's great at finding all the information they need for their cases.

Robin lives with his parents, who are both journalists. His dad works for the 'Los Angeles Times'. Robin is also a skilled mountain climber, even though he's had a few accidents while climbing. He's a light sleeper and has a strong sixth sense, which helps with their cases. Robin is usually calm and likes to tease Musa and the others.

The Secret Headquarters

The main headquarter of Tin Goyenda is hidden in Pasha Salvage Yard. It's a mobile van that Kishore's uncle bought a long time ago and forgot about. Tin Goyenda found it and turned it into their secret base. It's hidden under lots of junk and has many secret entrances. Each entrance has a fun name, like Green Gate One or Red Dog Four.

Inside their headquarters, they have seats, a darkroom for developing photos, a storage room, a periscope to look around, a telephone, and a computer.

The Amazing Rolls-Royce

In their first book, Tin Goyenda, especially Kishore Pasha, won the use of a super luxurious Rolls-Royce car for 30 days! This special car was originally made for a Middle Eastern Sheikh, but he didn't want it. So, the company used it to get attention.

The Rolls-Royce is a big, black and golden car with a telephone and other cool features. Tin Goyenda used it a lot in their first few adventures. After the 30 days were up, they couldn't use it anymore. But then, they found a precious stone called Roktochokkhu (The Blood Eye). The grateful owner of the stone, August, arranged for Tin Goyenda to keep using the Rolls-Royce whenever they needed it. Mr. Hanson usually drives the car for them.
