About the Book

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

'A deliciously twisting plot, vividly realised sense of place and scalpel-sharp satire . . . Wildly entertaining and gripping’ Lucy Foley

*A pulse-pounding new thriller from the bestselling author of Hunted and winner of the British Book Awards Thriller of the Year*

Every floor has its secrets...
Washed-up American heart-throb George Abercrombie hates India, even from the rarified heights of his apartment on the 68th floor of the Pinnacle, Mumbai’s grandest luxury skyscraper. He hates the noise, he hates the heat and maybe he’s even grown to hate his much younger wife, the newest queen of Bollywood, Sweety Sahota.
When George wakes from a drunken stupor to find Sweety murdered in their bedroom, he knows he will be the prime suspect. But where is her computer, her phone – and where has his personal assistant gone?
As George scrambles to piece together the night, others in the building are covering their tracks. Sweety’s assistant must find who is blackmailing her, and a servant who knows too much goes on the run.
Welcome to the Pinnacle. A place where murder meets luxury and the world’s most privileged depend on the most desperate.
Readers love Abir Mukherjee's novels:

Review :
There could not be a more appropriate title for this towering thriller from a writer at the very top of his game A deliciously twisting plot, vividly realised sense of place and scalpel-sharp satire . . . Wildly entertaining and gripping’ Proper edge-of-seat tension . . . Fast-paced, funny, yet dark as hell, it’s a compelling read 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’ 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 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. 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 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 The most thrilling of thrillers . . . it felt like the pages turned themselves. Absolutely compulsive reading From top to bottom a cracking thriller stuffed solid with sass, sleaze and smiles - l loved it.
