One City, Two Cultures. One Murder, Two Cops A dead body in the prayer hall of a mosque isn’t the best start to the day for anyone. But for Detective Inspector Harold Porter it’s all in a day’s work – he’s a Murder Detective with the Metropolitan Police’s Homicide and Serious Crimes Command. The problem is that DI Porter has been given a new partner – a young Muslim detective by the name of Mohammed Salim Nasri. Nasri and Porter are both British and they are both cops, but they look at the world – and the case – from completely different viewpoints. And when that case includes Islamic terrorists, acid-throwing fundamentalists and knife-wielding fanatics that can only mean problems. As Porter and Nasri work to solve the murder case, MI5 is watching over their shoulders and one wrong move could mean a major terrorist incident exploding in the capital. Praise for Stephen Leather’s Dan "Spider" Shepherd series - Let Spider draw you into his web, you won't regret it. The Sun The sheer impetus of his storytelling is damned hard to resist. Daily Express A master of the thriller genre. Irish Times
