There could not be a more appropriate title for this towering thriller from a writer at the very top of his game * Mark Billingham * The Pinnacle shows Abir Mukherjee moving effortlessly into the top class of thriller writers ... with fascinating insights into the life of the very rich - and very poor - in Mumbai. It's also very funny' * Mick Herron * A deliciously twisting plot, vividly realised sense of place and scalpel-sharp satire . . . Wildly entertaining and gripping' * Lucy Foley * Proper edge-of-seat tension . . . Fast-paced, funny, yet dark as hell, it's a compelling read * Harriet Tyce * Prepare to be blown away by The Pinnacle . . . a thrilling plot that thunders along on a tidal wave of wit and action. Dark, funny, shocking, it's easily his best book yet. * Janice Hallett * 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 * Anna Mazzola * The Pinnacle is a superbly realised, 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 * Jane Casey * A propulsive plot meets witty, pitch-perfect writing. The Pinnacle is high-class crime fiction and a biting satire, funnier than a book about murder has any right to be. A career best from an enviably talented and versatile novelist * Erin Kelly * The most thrilling of thrillers . . . it felt like the pages turned themselves. Absolutely compulsive reading * Liz Nugent * From top to bottom a cracking thriller stuffed solid with sass, sleaze and smiles - l loved it. * Morgan Cry *More details
