2022 on your Murder Mystery World Tour featured more than our usual share of thrillers, both in our interviews with authors, and our full-features on the show.

Sam and Suren have been through a lot, over their tenure together. Over the course of their series, from 'A Rising Man', to today’s novel, they’ve stood side by side at their best and worst moments, but never before, has Surendrenath been given the turbulent, tumultuous and terrific control of the narrative that he gets in The Shadows of Men, and by golly, Abir Mukherjee has given him one hell of a debut in the driver’s seat.
