Gumshuda: गुमशुदा
by Santosh Pathakस्नेहलता यादव की गुमशुदगी का मामूली सा दिखाई देने वाला केस अचानक ही मेरे जी का जंजाल बन गया। हालात, जिनपर मेरा कोई काबू नहीं था, यूं बिगड़ते चले गये कि लड़की का पता लगाने की बजाये मुझे खुद को जेल जाने से बचाने की कवायद में जुटना पड़ा। पुलिस की निगाहों में मैं रेपिस्ट था, खूनी था, और वह बात साबित हो जाना महज वक्त की बात थी, क्योंकि मेरे खिलाफ सबूतों का अंबार लगा हुआ था, और सबूत भी ऐसे जो चींख चींखकर कह रहे थे कि अपराधी मैं ही था। सबसे ज्यादा डैमेजिंग बात मेरे लिए ये थी कि केस की इंवेस्टिगेशन ऑफिसर इंस्पेक्टर गरिमा देशपांडे मेरे खिलाफ थी, इतना खिलाफ कि उसका वश चलता तो अदालत में गुनाह साबित होने से पहले ही मुझे फांसी के फंदे पर लटका देती। ऐसे मुश्किल हालात में सच्चाई की तह तक पहुंच पाना कोई आसान काम नहीं था। मगर पहुंचना फिर भी जरूरी था, क्योंकि बलि का बकरा बनने का मेरा कोई इरादा नहीं था।

Featured writers include not only many unsung heroes of pulp fiction but also authors who were popular in their day. Pronzini presents background on the field's subgenres and publishers as well as incisive commentary on the social attitudes reflected by the stories.
