Publisher Description
YOU CAN'T SAVE YOUR KIDS. BUT CAN YOU STOP THEM?
'A pretty much flawless thriller' LEE CHILD
'HUNTED is a damn exciting read. Nothing like it has been published before' JAMES PATTERSON
'Hunted is a mature, intelligent thriller... Stunning' JANICE HALLETT, author of The Appeal
It’s a week before the presidential elections when a bomb goes off in an LA shopping mall.
In London, armed police storm Heathrow Airport and arrest Sajid Khan. His daughter Aliyah entered the USA with the suicide bomber, and now she’s missing, potentially plotting another attack.
But then a woman called Carrie turns up at Sajid’s door after travelling halfway across the world. She claims Aliyah is with her son Greg, and she knows where they could be.
Back in the US, Agent Shreya Mistry is closing in on the two fugitives. But the more she investigates, the more she realises there is more to this case than meets the eye and suspects a wider conspiracy.
Hunted by the authorities, the two parents are thrown together in a race against time to find their kids before the FBI does, and stop a catastrophe that will bring the country to its knees.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mukherjee strays from his Wyndham & Banerjee historical series to deliver a cunning standalone rooted in contemporary America's fractured political landscape. After a bloody bombing in a Los Angeles mall, FBI agent Shreya Mistry identifies a young Muslim woman as the culprit. A group calling themselves the Sons of the Caliphate claim responsibility, threatening future attacks. With mere days left in a neck-and-neck presidential race between a right-wing ideologue and the country's Democratic vice president, a resurgence of Islamist terrorism could tip the balance. After Shreya uncovers the L.A. bomber's connection to a small town outside of Portland, Ore., she teams up with fellow FBI agent Susan Kramer, and the pair discover another potential bomber on the loose: Aliyah Khan, a young British woman radicalized by her sister's death during a political protest. Meanwhile, Aliyah's father, Sajid, heads to Oregon from London to stop her from carrying out the will of Miriam, a charismatic "soldier masquerading as messiah," whose deadly—though opaque—mission seems poised to topple the upper echelons of U.S. government and law enforcement. The diverse, well-drawn cast, clever investigative work, and breakneck pacing easily carry readers through the novel's many-tentacled plot. With this pulse-pounding thriller, Mukherjee proves he's just as good at mining the present for suspense as the past.
