概要

 When an over-the-hill American actor finds his wife, a rising star in Bollywood, dead in their Mumbai high-rise, he quickly becomes the prime suspect in this atmospheric, razor-sharp social mystery. Perfect for fans of The White Lotus, Only Murders in the Building and Age of Vice.

Washed-up American heart throb George Abercrombie hates India, even from his apartment on the 68th floor of Mumbai’s grandest luxury skyscraper. He hates the noise, he hates the heat, and just maybe he’s grown to hate his wife, the newest queen of Bollywood, Sweety Sahota, decades his junior. So when George wakes from a drunken stupor (free whiskey, for which he’s the national spokesperson) to find his wife murdered in their bedroom, he knows quite well just how badly he’s cooked. But where is her computer, her cellphone, and where has his personal assistant gone?

The Pinnacle is a dazzling and addictive thriller that’s three plots in one, as George seeks to find the killer, as a conflicted young woman working as Sweety’s P.A. struggles to find out who’s blackmailing her, and as a servant who knows too much goes on the run. A dark sendup of world’s most privileged coexisting with the world’s most desperate, from the winner of the 2025 British Book Awards Thriller of the Year. スリラー・サスペンス ミステリー 古典的探偵 国際ミステリー・犯罪 大衆小説 家庭生活

批評家のレビュー

"The Pinnacle shows Abir Mukherjee moving effortlessly into the top class of thriller writers. It has all the verve and technical skill of his award-winning Hunted, with fascinating insights into the life of the very rich - and very poor - in Mumbai. It's also very funny."—Mick Herron, author of Slow Horses
"I loved this most thrilling of thrillers was such an enjoyable read. It felt like the pages turned themselves. Absolutely compulsive reading. Characterization was fantastic, George, whose celebrity is fading; Gemma, the PA with a secret lover; Amit, the house servant with his fingers in the till and the mysterious Miss Singh are either hunting or hunted across the wide expanse of Mumbai, a character in its own right."—Liz Nugent, author of Strange Sally Diamond
"The seedy underbelly of luxury living has never been better exposed. Fast-paced, funny, yet dark as hell, it’s a compelling read."
—Harriet Tyce, author of It Ends at Midnight
"A superbly realized, 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, author of The Secret Room
"There could not be a more appropriate title for this towering thriller from a writer at the very top of his game."—Mark Billingham, author of What the Night Brings
"I loved The Pinnacle. From start to finish you're wrapped up in a harried world of celebrity and stardom, ego and greed, love and loss. Mukherjee has the incredible knack of writing an engaging story, fast-paced drama, memorable characters, astute social commentary, and then peppering it all with his trademark wit. An absolute joy."—Ayisha Malik, author of Sofia Khan Is Not Obliged
"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, author of The Clockwork Girl
