A pretty much flawless thriller, HUNTED works on every level imaginable. Terrific characters are subtly and mercilessly pushed along by a plot as propulsive as it is constantly surprising.
Lee Child
An urgent and blisteringly-paced chase thriller

A timely and intelligent thriller that makes you think. Puts ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances to create a fast-paced novel about family, prejudice & the devastating consequences of polarised politics.

James Patterson
Hunted is a mature, intelligent thriller written with forensic skill and observation. This irresistible spiderweb of twisting fates moves seamlessly from the personal to the global. I was swept along on an epic and fast-moving adventure, crafted with insight, empathy and devastating attention to detail. Mukherjee has put the world in a book and I dare anyone to put it down. Stunning

An irresistible blend of high-octane thriller plot, nuanced characterisation and smart writing. Not to be missed!
Shari Lapena
The diverse, well-drawn cast, clever investigative work, and breakneck pacing easily carry the readers through the novel’s many-tentacled plot. With this pulse-pounding thriller, Mukherjee proves he’s just as good at mining the present for suspense as the past
Publisher's Weekly
This novel will make you shudder. It’s taut, credible, and scary.
Kirkus
...epic, thrilling, tragic and humane. Like 24 meets Homeland with heart. And damn the writing is excellent
Jo Callaghan, Sunday Times bestselling author of In the Blink of an Eye.
Hunted is a high-octane thriller that’s epic in scale, urgent in theme + intimate in character. Clever, nuanced, propulsive, it explores patriotism, prejudice and unbelonging in a volatile political climate. Anyone who's fought for their right to exist will see themselves in it.
Kia Abdullah, bestselling author of Those People Next Door

John Sutherland, Daily Express, *Books of the Year*
Mukherjee’s first foray into the contemporary thriller arena tackles a slew of hot button issues: How innocents are radicalised. The divisive nature of modern political rhetoric. The responsibility that parents bear for the actions of their children. Set against the upcoming Presidential election, this is an urgent and blisteringly-paced chase thriller
