The Burning Grounds
'Historical crime fiction at its best' Sunday Times
'Compulsive reading. This is a master storyteller at the top of his game.' Ann Cleeves
Pre-order the gripping new thriller from Abir Mukherjee where high-rise murder meets luxury in The Pinnacle – coming soon!
In the Burning Ghats of Calcutta where the dead are laid to rest, a man is found murdered, his throat cut from ear to ear.
The body is that of a popular patron of the arts, a man who was, by all accounts, beloved by all: so what was the motive for his murder? Despite being out of favour with the Imperial Police Force, Detective Sam Wyndham is assigned to the case and finds himself thrust into the glamorous world of Indian cinema.
Meanwhile Surendranath Banerjee, recently returned from Europe after three years spent running from the fallout of his last case, is searching for a missing photographer; a trailblazing woman at the forefront of the profession.
When Suren discovers that the vanished woman is linked to Sam's murder investigation, the two men find themselves working together once again - but will Wyndham and Banerjee be able to put their differences aside to solve the case?
'An unmissable series' The Times
