Abir Mukherjee's 'The Pinnacle' explores Indian society through crime fiction

A British-Indian writer named Abir Mukherjee wrote a new book called 'The Pinnacle'.

He was born and raised in the UK after his parents moved from India.

He sometimes feels like a 'fish out of water', but he thinks that helps him see Indian society clearly.

The book is a mystery about a Bollywood star named Sweety Sahota who dies.

Her husband, George Abercrombie, becomes the main suspect.

But the book is not just about finding the killer.

It is really about how society is divided into rich and poor people.

The 'pinnacle' means both a tall apartment building and the very top of society.

Mukherjee wants to show that rich and poor people can both be tricky or clever.

He uses jokes and humour to talk about serious problems in society.

The murder is just a way to start a bigger conversation about people and how they treat each other.
