Synopsis

***WINNER OF THE CWA DEBUT DAGGER***

(Previously published as Western Fringes)

A Sikh girl on the run. A Muslim ex-con who has to find her. A whole heap of trouble.

Southall, West London. After being released from prison, Zaq Khan is lucky to land a dead-end job at a builders' yard. All he wants to do is keep his head down and put the past behind him.

But when Zaq is forced to search for his boss's runaway daughter, he quickly finds himself caught up in a deadly web of deception, murder and revenge.

With time running out and pressure mounting, can he find the missing girl before it's too late? And if he does, can he keep her - and himself - alive long enough to deal with the people who want them both dead?

Media Reviews
An engaging hero, a cunning plot, and a fascinating journey into Southall's underworld. We'll be hearing a lot more from Amer Anwar * Mick Herron *
A fine debut novel. With his engaging characters and skilful plotting, Anwar brings a fresh and exciting new voice to the genre * Ann Cleeves *
What a wild ride! Have never read anything so action-packed and tense! A fantastic read * Ausma Zehanat Khan, author of The Unquiet Dead *
Raw! Authentic! The crime thriller that I've been waiting for * Khurrum Rahman, author of East of Hounslow *
The finest story telling finds the epic in the intimate and the intimate in the epic. Brothers in Blood introduces new voices and new communities into the world of crime fiction. Those readers who don't own a coffee table or a bedside cabinet need not worry; you won't be putting this book down * Hardeep Singh Kohli, broadcaster, columnist and writer *
This is such a thrillingly authentic slice of London life. No one's written these characters before - and done it so well. * William Shaw *
What a class book Brothers in Blood is! Fast paced, daring and totally gripping * Dreda Say Mitchell *
Anwer fills a gap that has been yawning for far too long and what sets him apart is his extraordinary storytelling and sheer authenticity. It was fascinating, occasionally funny, but also terrifying. A damn good read that I found impossible to put down. * CJ Carver *
