A gripping detective thriller, now a Major BBC TV series, starring Game of Thrones actor Staz Nair.

'Outstanding - relentless, multi-layered suspense' Lee Child

'Fearless' Sunday Times

'Tense' Observer

It is an ordinary Yorkshire morning, cold and miserable.

The streets are not yet busy. Police cars hurriedly pull up in the centre of town, but none of their lights are flashing and the sirens are silent.

A body has been found, elaborately and painstakingly positioned to send a message. But what message? And to who?

It's DCI Harry Virdee's job to find out. But Harry doesn't know that the killer is watching him, that the killer is coming for him.

Because this is personal.

Previously published as City of Sinners.

Reviews
Praise for A.A. Dhand * : *
Outstanding - relentless, multi-layered suspense. * Lee Child *
The blood count is high but the novel deserves attention for its sheer inventiveness and unbridled energy. * The Times *
AA Dhand's excellent series about Chief Inspector Harry Virdee delves deep into the dark side of Bradford, exploring a city riven by racial tensions and devoid of hope. * Sunday Express *
A tense slice of neo-noir that has won Dhand comparisons to both BBC drama Luther and HBO's The Wire. * Observer *
High octane drama from one of Britain's freshest crime voices. * Phil Williams, BBC Radio Five Live *
DI Harry Virdee has established himself as a star anti-hero on the streets of Bradford, and Dhand's brilliant creation doesn't fail fans in this third book. . . Murder, drugs, racism... all this under the grim skies of West Yorks. Another winning read. * Sunday Sport *
Dhand is a fearless writer. * Sunday Times *
