Vengeance by Saima Mir explores the tension-filled journey of Jia Khan as she struggles to maintain her grip on power while secrets from the past come to light. This is the brilliant follow-up to the bestselling Times and Guardian Crime Novel of the Year.

'Thrilling.' - The Times

'Unputdownable.' - Erin Kelly

For two years, Jia Khan has been overseeing her late father’s organised crime operation in the north of England. Until now, her authority has remained unchallenged. However, things are starting to fall apart as she discovers that her father’s notebook, recounting his journey from Pakistan in the 1970s, stirs up an old family feud that threatens devastating consequences for her.

The stakes grow higher when one of her employees is found brutally murdered, his body provocatively placed in her garden in spite of her sophisticated security. Someone is getting dangerously close. Could there be a traitor within Jia Khan’s trusted inner circle?

'Propulsive... A riveting second outing for the Khan.' - Vaseem Khan
