WINNER OF THE CRIME FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2024

A blistering contemporary thriller with a real message for our polarised times from Abir Mukherjee, the award-winning author of the Wyndham and Banerjee series.

The clock is ticking. Who will find them first?

The epic and thrilling story of two parents thrown together to stop their children from committing an unthinkable crime.

A missing daughter. Suspected of plotting a terror attack in the US.

A father arrested. Police storm Heathrow Airport to bring him in for questioning about his daughter.

A terrifying connection. In Florida, a mother discovers a link between her son and the missing girl, fearing they have been radicalised.

Hunted. On the run from the authorities, the two parents are thrown together to find their children before the FBI does and more lives are lost.

For fans of Adrian McKinty's The Chain and Clare Mackintosh's Hostage, this blockbuster contemporary thriller will turn your world on its head.

Critics Review

An irresistible blend of high-octane thriller plot, nuanced characterisation and smart writing. Not to be missed!
Shari Lapena
A firecracker of fiction. Incendiary, devastating, wildly exciting. Strap yourself in and brace for the ride
Chris Whitaker
...epic, thrilling, tragic and humane. Like 24 meets Homeland with heart. And damn the writing is excellent
Jo Callaghan, Sunday Times bestselling author of In the Blink of an Eye.
HUNTED is a damn exciting read. It’s also a brave book. Nothing quite like it has been published before
James Patterson
A pretty much flawless thriller, HUNTED works on every level imaginable. Terrific characters are subtly and mercilessly pushed along by a plot as propulsive as it is constantly surprising.
Lee Child
'Hunted is a phenomenal achievement, with its sizeable cast of memorable characters, flawless juggling of multiple storylines, and a political dimension that makes it more than pacey entertainment.'
The Times
If you're looking for a kick-ass, pedal-to-the-metal thriller you need HUNTED by the supremely talented Abir Mukherjee
Mark Billingham
A rip-roaring, bang-up-to-date political thriller that grabs you from the first pages and never lets go. Twists you won't see coming, nail-biting suspense and finely drawn characters that will linger long after reading. Unmissable
Steve Cavanagh
A thought-provoking, intriguingly taut, propulsive and highly original thriller
Steph McGovern
Hunted is a mature, intelligent thriller written with forensic skill and observation. This irresistible spiderweb of twisting fates moves seamlessly from the personal to the global. I was swept along on an epic and fast-moving adventure, crafted with insight, empathy and devastating attention to detail. Mukherjee has put the world in a book and I dare anyone to put it down. Stunning
