the bound presents Abir Mukherjee
the bound, Whitley Bay, NE26 2TH
Wednesday 17th June 2026
Every floor has its secrets ... Welcome to the Pinnacle. A place where murder meets luxury and the world’s most privileged depend on the most desperate.
Abir Mukherjee will be at the bound talking about his latest thriller THE PINNACLE on the eve of its publication.
Washed-up American heart-throb George Abercrombie hates India, even from the rarified heights of his apartment on the 68th floor of the Pinnacle, Mumbai’s grandest luxury skyscraper. He hates the noise, he hates the heat and maybe he’s even grown to hate his much younger wife, the newest queen of Bollywood, Sweety Sahota.
When George wakes from a drunken stupor to find Sweety murdered in their bedroom, he knows he will be the prime suspect. But where is her computer, her phone – and where has his personal assistant gone?As George scrambles to piece together the night, others in the building are covering their tracks. Sweety’s assistant must find who is blackmailing her, and a servant who knows too much goes on the run.
'There could not be a more appropriate title for this towering thriller from a writer at the very top of his game' Mark Billingham
Your ticket includes a free welcome drink.
NOTE our events at the bound are upstairs and therefore - sadly - not wheelchair accessible
