‘Told with striking panache. Announces the arrival of a fine, fresh new thriller writer’
Daily Mail
‘Combining humour and tragedy is one of the hardest literary challenges, but Khurrum Rahman succeeds.’
TLS
‘A brilliant thriller. You’d be mad not to buy this.’
Ben Aaronovitch
‘A very funny but tense thriller… Think Four Lions meets Phone Shop’
Red
‘As much a coming-of-age story as a full-on action thriller, East of Hounslow is thought-provoking and entirely gripping.’
Guardian
‘Excellent book. Phenomenal writing.’
BA Paris
‘Sweary, funny and, above all, an absolutely cracking thriller that you’ll tear through, this is the anti-James Bond that the 21st century needs’
Emerald Street
‘East of Hounslow, in which a young Muslim finds himself forced to become an MI5 plant in a group of jihadists, is as British as Nelson’s Column. A superb and exciting debut novel’
Telegraph
‘The best thriller I’ve read in ages’
Stephen Leather
‘I loved it. More please’
Mel McGrath
‘Builds to a heart-constricting climax’
Times Crime Club
‘Clipped dialogues, staccato sentences and the hilariously brilliant prose set the pace of this excellent unputdownable crime thriller. The climax will leave you breathless.’
New Indian Express
