Vikram, Aditya and Chitra are the key protagonists of Deepak Dalal’s adventure series. Inspired by adventure series like Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, these three teenagers get involved in incidents where there is a mystery awaiting to be solved.

The backdrop, for his stories, are generally exotic locations in India, covering a wide variety of natural beauty—his earlier titles in the series—include wildlife in the Ranthambore, ragged mountains-Sahayadri, aboriginals & tribals not commonly encountered—Lakshwadeep, Ladakh.)
