A washed-up American actor living in Mumbai's most luxurious skyscraper wakes after a drunken night to discover his much younger wife, Sweety Sahota, a Bollywood superstar, has been murdered. With her phone and computer missing and his own memories unreliable, George Abercrombie becomes the prime suspect in a case where the truth could cost him his life. As he desperately searches for the killer, Sweety's assistant faces blackmail and a servant with dangerous knowledge goes on the run. Behind the Pinnacle's glittering faade, residents conceal secrets and pursue their own interests, exposing the stark inequalities between the wealthy and the desperate. A darkly humorous, fast-paced thriller exploring murder, corruption, class and power in modern Mumbai.
