Order of Abir Mukherjee Books

Abir Mukherjee has captivated readers with his bestselling Wyndham & Banerjee series, bringing a distinctive voice to historical crime fiction. His impressive debut, A Rising Man, earned him the CWA Endeavour Dagger for best historical crime novel in 2017, establishing him as a compelling new talent in the genre. The momentum continued with his second book, A Necessary Evil, which claimed the prestigious Wilbur Smith Award for Adventure Writing.

What sets Mukherjee's work apart is his fascinating setting—each novel in his series unfolds against the backdrop of British-ruled India, offering readers a fresh perspective on crime fiction through this rarely explored historical period. Originally from Scotland, Mukherjee currently resides in London with his family, crafting these atmospheric tales that transport readers to the complex world of the Raj era.
