  • Autorenportrait
    • <b>Abir Mukherjee</b>grew up in the west of Scotland. At the age of fifteen, his best friend made him read<i>Gorky Park</i>and hes been a fan of crime fiction ever since. The child of immigrants from India,<i>A Rising Man</i>, his debut novel, was inspired by a desire to learn more about a crucial period in Anglo-Indian history that seems to have been almost forgotten. It won the Harvill Secker/<i>Daily Telegraph</i>crime writing competition and became the first in a series starring Captain Sam Wyndham and Surrender-not Banerjee. Abir lives in London with his wife and two sons.
