What you need to know before your trail
Zaq Khan is lucky to land a dead-end job at a builders’ yard. He’s just been released from prison, and all he wants to do is keep his head down and put the past behind him. But when he’s forced to search for his boss’s runaway daughter, he finds himself caught up in a deadly web of deception, murder and revenge.
Travel Guide
Southall, London
From HMP Bullingdon to Southall Gas works, Zaq Khan has not had the best path in life. Now living back in the place where he came from, with the people he left behind, he’s finding it harder to fit back in.
This part of London in the novel is dubbed Little India for the rich cultural mix of the community. Little India has a grapevine to bet all grapevines and it’s hard to not be noticed, to slip quietly back in to society it would seem. When he gets a job in a company owned by Sikhs, things do not look good for him.
Time in prison has led to him being the ideal candidate to work on a family matter. Families in these parts do not contact the police but work things out within their community so as not to lose face. Pride and family honour is everything.
