Shortlisted for the Crimefest Last Laugh Award and the Crimefest eDunnit Award 2019

‘As gripping and funny as his first thriller’ Ben Aaronovitch

Reluctant spy. Trained assassin.
WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

JAY QASIM is back home in West London and in pursuit of normality. He’s swapped dope-dealing for admin, and spends his free time at the local Muslim Community Centre or cruising around Hounslow in his beloved BMW. No-one would guess that he was the MI5 spy who foiled the most devastating terrorist attack in recent history.

But Jay’s part in sabotaging Ghurfat-Al-Mudarris’ hit on London didn’t pass unnoticed.

IMRAN SIDDIQUI was trained to kill in Afghanistan by the terrorist cell who saved his life after his home was destroyed by war. The time has finally come for him to repay them – throwing him headlong into the path of Jay Qasim.

Now, they must each decide whose side they’re really on.

Make sure you’ve read all the books in the Jay Qasim series:

• The second book in the Jay Qasim series.

• Book one, East of Hounslow, was shortlisted for the CrimeFest Last Laugh award and has been longlisted for the CWA John Creasey. It attracted rave reviews on Amazon and brought in a wealth of terrific author/media quotes.

• Thrillers for a new generation, the Jay Qasim series is something completely different, brilliantly brave, and utterly refreshing.

• Think the edge of Breaking Bad, the fresh, clever and controversial comedy of Four Lions and the addictive pace of James Swallow.

• As a British Muslim born in Pakistan and raised in the UK, Khurrum Rahman’s voice is as authentic as it is engaging.
