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 most thrilling of thrillers . . . it felt like the pages turned themselves. Absolutely compulsive reading
Liz Nugent
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 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 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’

From top to bottom a cracking thriller stuffed solid with sass, sleaze and smiles - l loved it.
Morgan Cry
A riveting and extremely funny thriller which really brings to life Mumbai's glitzy high-flying uber-rich and the down in the muck gangsters who support them
Ajay Chowdhury
A tremendous thriller that showcases its author's panache, wit and wisdom. I raced through the pages, soaking up the highs and lows of Mumbai, cheering for the oddball cast of characters, and picturing it all too easily on the big screen. A smash-hit from start to finish
Sarah Hilary
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
The Pinnacle is aptly named as it shows Abir Mukherjee at the height of his powers. Turning emotionally on a sixpence from deadly serious to laugh out loud funny, this high rise, high tension, high stakes thriller will be the novel of the summer and beyond

A tour de bloody force. Impossible to put down. This is Abir Mukherjee at his very best
Imran Mahmood
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.

In The Pinnacle Abir Mukherjee uses his razor-sharp wit to create a novel that is at once a fascinating mystery and a scintillating social critique. A fresh and addictive experience
