## Resource

Phil did Abir Mukherjee’s first national broadcast interview a decade ago for his debut, A Rising Man. Since then, Abir’s won the Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year, the British Book Awards Crime & Thriller Novel of the Year, the CWA Dagger for best Historical Novel, and much much more. In this Episode, we get Abir’s views on India; his Jeffrey Archer impression (!) and we learn his family’s Indian pet name for him. His new book The Pinnacle is also out today and is his funniest book to date. Enjoy!
