"This novel will make you shudder. It's taut, credible, and scary." ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Mukherjee approaches terrorism and terrorist actors with a view that is more nuanced than cut-and-dried." —Library Journal (starred review)
"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." ―Publishers Weekly
"Mukherjee, author of the acclaimed Wyndham & Banerjee Raj-era thrillers, wields streamlined, powerful writing here, cleverly concealing the terrorists' ideology to spotlight the growing threat of polarization." ―Booklist
"An irresistible blend of high-octane thriller plot, nuanced characterization and smart writing. Not to be missed!" ―Shari Lapena, bestselling author of The Couple Next Door
"Hunted is a damn exciting read. It's also a brave book. Nothing quite like it has been published before." ―James Patterson
"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." ―Lee Child
