Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Zaq & Jags (1) Prijzen
A Sikh girl on the run. A Muslim ex-con who has to find her. A whole heap of trouble. Southall, West London. After being released from prison, Zaq Khan is lucky to land a dead-end job at a builders' yard. All he wants to do is keep his head down and put the past behind him. But when Zaq is forced to search for his boss's runaway daughter, he quickly finds himself caught up in a deadly web of deception, murder and revenge. With time running out and pressure mounting, can he find the missing girl before it's too late? And if he does, can he keep her - and himself - alive long enough to deal with the people who want them both dead? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Before you can say "watch out", Zaq is attacked in the dark by three mysterious guys. Every blow and counter blow is described. Every blow. And then every bruise, laceration, ache and pain. The plot evolves into something a lot more complex . But before you can say "watch out" again Zaq is attacked once more. And again. I think there are at least six major brawls in the story and in each fight, we learn of every punch and counter. In the climactic scene, Zaq fights not three, not four, not five, but six bad guys simultaneously, and survives for ten minutes before......well, I don't want to ruin the scene for you.
Some of the dialog reminds me of old cowboy movies I used to watch. Somebody in the course of the fight actually says "have that". A lot of the story is along the line of he goes here, turns here, then goes here, then here, then says - maybe more appropriate for a movie script. The proof reading is atrocious - too often there were missing words, or added words. Doesn't anybody read the texts before the book is finalized for publication anymore?!
To the authors credit this book received the CWA Debut Dagger. And I did enjoy and appreciate that the author used proper street names and landmarks; it was enjoyable being able to follow his twists and turns on Google maps and see what Southall neighborhoods look like. ( )
