It's a full-spoilers affair as we dive into Abir Mukherjee's latest thriller, The Shadows of Men. As seems to be becoming tradition around here, we keep asking authors so many questions that it just doesn't fit in the damned show. From how loose cannons unleash your story, to his dissatisfaction with the previous novel 'Death in the East', to accusing us of poo-pooing an important character detail, our chat with Abir is the perfect accompaniment to your re-read of the fifth novel in the Sam Wyndham and Surendrenath Banerjee crime fiction universe.
