About this listen

Be twice as good as men and four times as good as white men.

Jia Khan has always lived like this.

A successful lawyer, her London life is a long way from the grubby Northern streets she knew as a child, where her father headed up the Pakistani community and ran the local organised crime syndicate. Often his Jirga rule - the old way - was violent and bloody, but it was always justice of a kind.

But now her father, Akbar Khan, has been murdered and Jia must return to take his place. In the past, the police relied on him to maintain the fragile order of the streets. But a power struggle has broken out amongst the various communities and now, nobody is safe.

Justice needs to be restored and Jia is about to discover that justice always comes at a price.

Very well written crime thriller steeped in Asian culture and the North. Intricately plotted with a fab twist I did not see coming. As with a lot of crime thrillers it also reminds us that very few humans are entire good or entirely bad.

A Gripping story with a great finale

Inspiring female lead character

A completely immersive, and captivating story that is highly recommended, rich in detail but not overbearing in its approach.

Amazing

Incredibly engaging and just wonderful! Really enjoyed the story and Mina Baker’s narration has brought it to life.

Excellent book

I think this was compulsive listening rather than enjoyable. A good storyline however the poetic feel to writing dragged it out. It was good but not one for my ‘listen again’ list.

Flowery poetry read in a northern accent
