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

Reviews

'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
