THEY'RE NOT BOUND BY FAMILY. BUT A FAMILY COULD TEAR THEM APART.

Southall, West London. After being released from prison, Zaq Khan is lucky to land a dead-end job at a builders' yard. All he wants to do is keep his head down and put the past behind him.

But when Zaq is forced to search for his boss's runaway daughter, he quickly finds himself caught up in a deadly web of deception, murder and revenge.

With time running out and pressure mounting, can he find the missing girl before it's too late? And if he does, can he keep her - and himself - alive long enough to deal with the people who want them both dead?

Critic Reviews

“An engaging hero, a cunning plot, and a fascinating journey into Southall's underworld. We'll be hearing a lot more from Amer Anwar”

An enjoyable, fast-paced quest for the truth with a likeable, relatable protagonist - Observer

One of the most vibrant and edgy crime thrillers I have encountered for some time... brilliant and highly recommended. - Raven Crime Reads

Anwer fills a gap that has been yawning for far too long and what sets him apart is his extraordinary storytelling and sheer authenticity. It was fascinating, occasionally funny, but also terrifying. A damn good read that I found impossible to put down. - CJ Carver

A fine debut novel. With his engaging characters and skilful plotting, Anwar brings a fresh and exciting new voice to the genre - Ann Cleeves

- Mick Herron

One of the best books I've read this year.
- The Crime Novel Reader

What a wild ride! Have never read anything so action-packed and tense! A fantastic read - Ausma Zehanat Khan, author of The Unquiet Dead

Raw! Authentic! The crime thriller that I've been waiting for - Khurrum Rahman, author of East of Hounslow
