If Luther was set in Bradford...
The government is firm, it does not negotiate with terrorists. But Detective Harry Virdee's wife has been taken hostage. He can see only one way out.
'One of the most multi-layered policemen to have appeared in recent years' Mail on Sunday
IMMINENT SECURITY ALERT, LEAVE CITY PARK IMMEDIATELY.
DCI Harry Virdee has just enough time to get his son and his mother to safety before the bomb blows. But this is merely a stunt; there is worse to come.
A new and aggressive nationalist group, the Patriots, have hidden a second device under one of the city's mosques. In exchange for the safe release of those at Friday prayers, the Patriots want custody of the leaders of radical Islamist group Almukhtareen - the chosen ones.
The government does not negotiate with terrorists. Even when thousands of lives are at risk.
But Harry's wife is in one of those mosques. Left with no choice, Harry must find the Almukhtareen, to offer the Patriots his own deal. Because sometimes the only way to save lives, is to take them.
'Delves deep into the dark side of Bradford, exploring a city riven by racial tensions.' Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express
'An author to keep an eye on . . . Dhand is a fearless writer' Sunday Times

Customer Reviews
A good story well written
The storyline had me gripped within the first few pages. It was so well written with tension and I had a strong desire to know what was going on. The opening chapters seemed realistic and horrifyingly plausible.
I appreciated finding out more about the different religions and their possible attitudes to each other in the chapters concerning Harry’s parents.
It maybe seems mean to only give 4* but I don’t enjoy reading about fights and injuries. That is my problem. It was necessary for the story.
It would make a good film plot.
