Hunted

by Abir Mukherjee

Hunted by Abir Mukherjee is a standalone thriller that manages to be both a dramatic chase story and quite homely, celebrating family relationships. The book opens with an apparent suicide bombing at a mall in California and takes us to Washington State and across the United States to Florida. There’s a dysfunctional FBI agent, uninspiring presidential candidates and a deep state conspiracy, all served up with Mukherjee’s trademark humour. The book is nearly 500 pages but it’s very more-ish so easy to read in a day or two (especially if you ignore your family and other domestic commitments).
