'Death in the East is the best so far of an unmissable series' The Times

Calcutta police detective Captain Sam Wyndham and his quick-witted Indian Sergeant, Surrender-not Banerjee, are back for another rip-roaring adventure set in 1920s India.

1905, London.

When Bessie Drummond, an old flame of Sam Wyndham's, is attacked in the street, he is determined to get to the bottom of it. But the next day, Bessie is found dead in her room and Wyndham soon finds himself caught up in her murder investigation. The case will cost the young constable more than he ever imagined.

1922, India.

Leaving Calcutta, Wyndham heads for the hills of Assam, ready to put his opium addiction behind him. But when he arrives, he sees a ghost from his life in London - a man thought to be long dead, a man Wyndham hoped he would never see again.

Wyndham knows he must call his friend and colleague Sergeant Banerjee for help. He is certain that this figure from can only be after one thing: revenge...

Reseñas de la crítica

As ever, Abir Mukherjee brings sardonic wit to his portrayal of British rule in India and the action is perfectly paced, but this volume has a depth that makes it stand out. His best yet (Jake Kerridge)
In his most accomplished and complex novel yet, Mukherjee keeps the reader enthralled as the duo race towards a brilliant conclusion. Death in the East is a contender for the best thriller of the year. (Jon Coates)
Death in the East is the best so far of an unmissable series (Antonia Senior)
The perfect combination of mystery and history (Jake Kerridge)
A skilfully blended dual narrative: twice the intrigue, twice the fun. Mukherjee is at the top of his game (Mick Herron, award-winning author of London Blues)
My favourite historical crime series by far. The dark days of the British Raj are so vividly painted. Utterly magnificent (MW Craven, author of The Puppet Show)
The gloriously atmospheric Death in the East is his [Mukherjee’s] best book so far, a cracking read (Jackie McGlone)
Death in the East is an outstanding work of historical fiction that brings characters and their imagined histories to life like no other writer.
Mukherjee’s style is elegantly conversational, his research is convincing and one of his murder methods is ingenious (Natasha Cooper)
Mukherjee not only steeps us in the atmosphere of the Raj but also recreates a teeming early-twentieth-century London, exploring issues of migration and xenophobia, matters all too relevant to our current moment. The author spoils us by presenting not one but two locked room mysteries, the second particularly devilish.
