The Pinnacle

"The Pinnacle shows Abir Mukherjee moving effortlessly into the top class of thriller writers. It has all the verve and technical skill of his award-winning Hunted, with fascinating insights into the life of the very rich - and very poor - in Mumbai. It's also very funny."

"I loved this most thrilling of thrillers was such an enjoyable read. It felt like the pages turned themselves. Absolutely compulsive reading. Characterization was fantastic, George, whose celebrity is fading; Gemma, the PA with a secret lover; Amit, the house servant with his fingers in the till and the mysterious Miss Singh are either hunting or hunted across the wide expanse of Mumbai, a character in its own right."

"The seedy underbelly of luxury living has never been better exposed. Fast-paced, funny, yet dark as hell, it’s a compelling read."
 

"A superbly realized, expertly plotted murder mystery that drew me into its mad Mumbai world from the first page. Abir Mukherjee is so good at making you care about his characters as they plunge ever deeper into disaster. The Pinnacle is brilliantly entertaining - fast paced, funny and clever - and it delivers a truly satisfying ending. A real treat."
 

"There could not be a more appropriate title for this towering thriller from a writer at the very top of his game."

"I loved The Pinnacle. From start to finish you're wrapped up in a harried world of celebrity and stardom, ego and greed, love and loss. Mukherjee has the incredible knack of writing an engaging story, fast-paced drama, memorable characters, astute social commentary, and then peppering it all with his trademark wit. An absolute joy."

"Abir Mukherjee scales new heights. Only Murders in the Building meets White Tiger. Funny and charming, but with bite. Abir's books are always so pacy, absorbing and entertaining that we don't notice that he's subtly teaching us something. I'm very glad he is."

Unmissable." – Steve Kavanagh
