The clock is ticking. Who will find them first?

A missing daughter. Suspected of plotting a terror attack in the US.

A father arrested. Police storm Heathrow Airport to bring him in for questioning about his daughter.

A terrifying connection. In Florida, a mother discovers a link between her son and the missing girl, fearing they have been radicalised.

Critic reviews

An irresistible blend of high-octane thriller plot, nuanced characterisation and smart writing. Not to be missed!
A firecracker of fiction. Incendiary, devastating, wildly exciting. Strap yourself in and brace for the ride
...epic, thrilling, tragic and humane. Like 24 meets Homeland with heart. And damn the writing is excellent
HUNTED is a damn exciting read. It’s also a brave book. Nothing quite like it has been published before
A pretty much flawless thriller, HUNTED works on every level imaginable. Terrific characters are subtly and mercilessly pushed along by a plot as propulsive as it is constantly surprising.
'Hunted is a phenomenal achievement, with its sizeable cast of memorable characters, flawless juggling of multiple storylines, and a political dimension that makes it more than pacey entertainment.'
If you're looking for a kick-ass, pedal-to-the-metal thriller you need HUNTED by the supremely talented Abir Mukherjee
A rip-roaring, bang-up-to-date political thriller that grabs you from the first pages and never lets go. Twists you won't see coming, nail-biting suspense and finely drawn characters that will linger long after reading. Unmissable
A thought-provoking, intriguingly taut, propulsive and highly original thriller (Steph McGovern)
Hunted is a mature, intelligent thriller written with forensic skill and observation. This irresistible spiderweb of twisting fates moves seamlessly from the personal to the global. I was swept along on an epic and fast-moving adventure, crafted with insight, empathy and devastating attention to detail. Mukherjee has put the world in a book and I dare anyone to put it down. Stunning

A thrilling and thoughtful read, which convincingly addresses the grey areas of both terrorism and patriotism. Beautifully acted out in audiobook

Tense, gripping, uncompromising

I really enjoyed this. I've listened to all of the Wyndham series and loved them. This is completely different, modern, political and exciting from start to finish.

An exciting listen.

A very contemporary story line with multiple characters interwoven into a good plot. Thought the different narrators also worked well

A very good read

I suspect this book is a bit marmite. I found the plot predictable and in some places the situations that the characters found themselves were solved to simplisticly or conveniently.
I initially liked the idea that the book follows the perspectives of the different characters involved in the story but in the end this was probably it's overall weakness, as there were too many moments where I felt the story stretched plausibility. I don't mind suspending my disbelief and will pretty much allow any author artistic licence to tell their story, but I found myself too often rolling my eyes at the story as it progressed.

The narrators were a little flat in their acting and the accents they did were distracting too often. All the characters seemed like they had come through a media training course as they all seemed to lack emotion in key moments of the story.

It's a shame because I have liked several of this authors books very much.

An interesting premise but a tad far fetched and predictable.
