About the Author:
Mukherjee's Wyndham & Bannerjee series is based in Raj-era India. The main protagonists are Calcutta policemen Captain Sam Wyndham and Sergeant Surendranath "Surrender-not" Bannerjee. Mukherjee has stated that this era of colonization in India intrigues him because he did not learn about it in British schooling, and the stories his parents shared about India differed significantly from what he learned in the classroom.
In May 2024, Harvill Secker published Abir Mukherjee's first standalone thriller, Hunted, set during the final week of a toxic presidential campaign and which sees the parents of two political extremists trying to extricate their children from the violence set to occur.
