Be twice as good as men and four times as good as white men.
Jia Khan has always lived like this.
Successful London lawyer Jia Khan is a long way from the grubby Northern
streets she knew as a child, where her father, Akbar Khan, led the
Pakistani community and ran the local organized crime syndicate. Often
his Jirga rule - the old way - was violent and bloody, but it was always
justice of a kind.
Now, with her father murdered, Jia must return to take his place. The
police have always relied on the Khan to maintain the fragile order of
the streets. But a bloody power struggle has broken out among warring
communities and nobody is safe.
Justice needs to be restored, and Jia is about to discover that justice
always comes at a cost.
