Funny, intelligent and also disturbing thriller that tackles important issues of today. You can't help but like the main character Javid (Jay), a small time drug dealer in a borough of London, England whose life turns upside down when he's recruited by M15 for a mission.

Khurrum Rahman‘s debut thriller (the first in a trilogy) is worth a read if you can get past a series of plot contrivances that at times made me raise my eyebrows, mainly because Jay has a great narrative voice and a lot of potential but also because Rahman paints a believable picture of the British Muslim community and its members (both good and bad) while a cliff hanger ending made me want to know what happens next.
