Two months till the launch of The Burning Grounds, the new Wyndham & Banerjee novel! I'll be going round the country, chatting with some stellar writers. There'll be laughs, tears, wine, more tears and murder (possibly). It's gonna be great! Hope to see you there!

Due in November, @radiomukhers.bsky.social's latest, THE BURNING GROUNDS reunites Wyndham and Bannerjee... Their sharply drawn friendship remains a huge draw to the series as they investigate a death connected to 1920s Indian cinema... a crackingly vibrant and emotionally affecting mystery. Go read.

The cover of THE BURNING GROUNDS by Abir Mukherjee shows a train speeding away from an Indian city, with clouds of smoke being heaved into the red and yellow sky...

I promise the one after that will be a Wyndham!

Abir Mukherjee @radiomukhers.bsky.social · Aug 13

This is not a Wyndham, but there is a new Wyndham & Banerjee out this November called The Burning Grounds.

Still a lot of work to do to get it right, but it’s always wonderful to write those last two words.

The next time the West tries to press a country on human rights, they will point to our silence at the crimes being committed upon the people of Gaza and rightly call us hypocrites.
