*The Sunday Times top ten bestseller*

*A Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month*

Get hooked on this year’s most addictive thriller Is revenge the most lethal dose of all?

* * * *

Local pharmacist and pillar of the community, Idris Khan, spends his days doling out methadone to the hundreds of addicts in his care. They trust Idris with their secrets, and so he knows more than his mild manner suggests. So when his childhood sweetheart, Rebecca, doesn't turn up for her daily methadone dose, Idris is worried. Worried enough to go looking for her in the most deprived area of Leeds, alone.

The mess Idris finds catapults him into the middle of a turf war between the two most powerful drug cartels in Yorkshire. Now, he must use every bit of intelligence and cunning he has to keep those he loves safe.

Because a war is on the way. And when Idris goes after his enemies, they won't see him coming.

This kind of novel is the equivalent of the old "page turner" . I found it hard to "pause" and kept looking for the opportunity to get back to the storyline. Clever, intelligent, well told. Such a pleasure to find. Thankyou A.A. Dhand.

Didn't like this at first as the subject is brutal and harsh. But I kept at it and wow. This is a fantastic story! Probably best for mafia loving people. Very gritty and so many bad people. Highly recommended.

Wow!
