Manage episode 420855970 series 2356969
Crime writer Abir Mukherjee joins Simon and Matt to discuss his new novel, Hunted.
Abir is known for his Wyndham and Banerjee series, set in 1920s India, however this book is his first stand alone.
They chat about the importance of writing something contemporary, the issues that he wanted to tackle and why it has taken so long to finish.
Here's a little more on Hunted:
IN A RACE AGAINST TIME, WHAT IF THE GREATEST THREAT WAS YOUR OWN CHILD?
It’s a week before the presidential elections when a bomb goes off in an LA shopping mall…
In London, armed police storm Heathrow Airport and arrest Sajid Khan. His daughter Aliyah entered the USA with the suicide bomber, and now she’s missing, potentially plotting another attack.
But then a mysterious woman called Carrie turns up at Sajid’s door after travelling halfway across the world. She claims Aliyah is with her son Greg, and she knows where they could be.
Back in the US, Agent Shreya Mistry is closing in on the two fugitives. But the more she investigates, the more she realises this case is far from as simple as it seems.
Hunted by the authorities, the two parents are thrown together in a race against time to find their kids before the FBI does and stop a catastrophe that will bring the world to its knees.
