About the book

Don’t miss this incredible adrenaline-filled thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat in 2025!

‘An author to keep an eye on … Dhand is a fearless writer’ Sunday Times

* * * *

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.

Praise for A. A. Dhand:

‘Outstanding – relentless, multi-layered suspense and real human drama’ Lee Child

‘Timely, and a compulsive page-turner’ Liz Nugent, author of Strange Sally Diamond

‘This man knows how to keep me up into the early hours. Relentlessly thrilling!’ Vaseem Khan, author of Midnight at Malabar House

‘Deserves attention for its sheer inventiveness and unbridled energy’ The Times

About the Author

A. A. Dhand

A.A. Dhand was raised in Bradford and spent his youth observing the city from behind the counter of a small convenience store. After qualifying as a pharmacist, he worked in London and travelled extensively before returning to Bradford to start his own business and begin writing.


The history, diversity and darkness of the city have inspired his Harry Virdee novels.

In 2016, A.A. Dhand's debut novel was released to critical acclaim. Since its release, it has been selected for World Book Night 2017, chosen for Read Regional 2017 and in February 2017, Streets of Darkness smashed into the UK bestseller lists.

A.A. Dhand is currently working with a UK broadcaster to develop a TV adaptation of the book. He still works full-time as a pharmacist and writes late at night into the early hours.
