‘This peerless series marries gangland grit and family warmth, wisdom and folly, loyalty and change, history and now. An underworld must-read.’ Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal 'Unforgettable... In Jia Khan, we are given the Muslim heroine missing for so long in popular culture. Clever, cool and calculating, she’s every bit as mesmerising as Michael Corleone.' Kia Abdullah, author of Take It Back ‘The explosive return of Jia Khan. Vengeance gives you everything you want in a thriller. A riveting, complex and tension filled sequel.’ Nadine Matheson, author of The Jigsaw Man 'I’m just speechless and spellbound by Saima Mir’s brilliant follow up to The Khan. It is an incredibly rare occurrence for a sequel to be as good as or better than the original. Saima Mir's Vengeance not only lives up to its predecessor's reputation but equals it.' Surjit Reads and Recommends 'A tight and tense thriller set in the heart of a British Pakistani crime network...you can't not get drawn in.' Bookbag
