This is his debut novel.
`Educated me about some of the most urgent issues of our time while making me repeatedly snort with laughter'. Telegraph `Combining humour and tragedy is one of the hardest literary challenges, but Khurrum Rahman succeeds.' TLS `Told with striking panache. Announces the arrival of a fine, fresh new thriller writer' Daily Mail `A very funny but tense thriller...Think Four Lions meets Phone Shop' Red `As much a coming-of-age story as a full-on action thriller, East of Hounslow is thought-provoking and entirely gripping.' Guardian `Sweary, funny and, above all, an absolutely cracking thriller that you'll tear through, this is the anti-James Bond that the 21st century needs' Emerald Street 'East of Hounslow, in which a young Muslim finds himself forced to become an MI5 plant in a group of jihadists, is as British as Nelson's Colum. A superb and exciting debut novel' Telegraph `Clipped dialogues, staccato sentences and the hilariously brilliant prose set the pace of this excellent unputdownable crime thriller. The climax will leave you breathless.' New Indian Express `A brilliant thriller. You'd be mad not to buy this.' Ben Aaronovitch, author of Rivers of London `Excellent book. Phenomenal writing.' BA Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors `I loved it. More please' Mel McGrath, author of Give Me the Child `Builds to a heart-constricting climax' Times Crime Club `The best thriller I've read in ages' Stephen Leather
