It's such an honour to be taking part in the cover reveal for Brothers in Blood by Amer Anwar today. Last year I was privileged to read this fabulous book under its previous title, Western Fringes. Since then, Dialogue Books have signed Amer and are republishing his CWA Debut Dagger Award winning book. I'm so thrilled for him and hope that even more people read his brilliant debut. Before I reveal the cover, here's what Brothers in Blood is about;
Winner of the CWA Debut Dagger
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 Zaq 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?
"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
Brothers in Blood will be published by Dialogue Books on 6th September 2018 and can be pre-ordered here. You can read my review here.
It really is a brilliant thriller and I think the cover complements it superbly. So I guess you'd like to see it?
I love it and hope it will tempt you to read it - you're certainly in for a treat if you love action-packed, witty and contemporary urban noir! Thank you so much Amer for asking me to take part in this cover reveal, I wish you every success with Brothers in Blood.
