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; 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.
