Jia Khan must fight to stay on top when secrets from the past are revealed. From the bestselling author of The Times and Guardian Crime Novel of the Year.

'Thrilling.' The Times

'Unputdownable.' Erin Kelly

For two years, Jia Khan has been running her late father’s organised crime business in the north of England. So far, her authority has remained unchallenged, but now things are beginning to unravel.

When she finds her father’s notebook recounting his arrival from Pakistan in the 1970s, it awakes an old family feud that could have devastating repercussions for Jia. And worst of all, one of her staff lies brutally slain, his corpse displayed provocatively in her garden despite her sophisticated security.

Someone is getting dangerously close. Could there be a traitor in Jia Khan’s trusted inner circle?

'Propulsive... A riveting second outing for the Khan.' Vaseem Khan
