WELCOME TO THE PINNACLE.

A place where murder meets luxury and the world’s most privileged depend on the most desperate.
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 why have her computer and her phone disappeared without a trace? 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.

Critic reviews

Laced with dry humour and social commentary, this is a tense, fast-paced tale of class, power and corruption
Another slick, satirical thriller with an acute social eye
A wild exploration of lavishly opulent world where everyone is hiding something and scheming to take advantage of others
There could not be a more appropriate title for this towering thriller from a writer at the very top of his game
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’
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
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.
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
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
