We discuss chapters 44-65 of Abir Mukherjee’s latest thriller, The Shadows of Men. Finally reunited, Sam and Suren split up again to investigate their latest lead in the death of Prashant Mukherjee. Sam finds his way into a party with Bombay’s affluent big spenders, while Surendrenath adds breaking and entering to his list of charges. Their efforts yield clues to impending chaos at a public protest, and the proverbial time-bomb risks taking India with it.

We’re joined once again by Abir himself to talk about hydration, and our appearances in his future novels. If you want to hear the full-length chat with Abir, that’s up on the podcast!
