About this listen
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. 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 both cops, but they look at the world - and the case - from completely different viewpoints. And when that case includes Islamic terrorists and knife-wielding fanatics that can only mean problems.
As Porter and Nasri work to solve the case, MI5 is watching over their shoulders, and one wrong move could mean a major terrorist incident.

Very Disappointing!
Not up to the usual exciting standard that I have come to expect from Stephen Leather. Poor, I'm afraid!

Good not Great
Enjoyable but not one of his best, a new slant in that one story is told from two sides, a sensitive issue but told well.

Leather at his best
Stephen Leather gets it bang on again with this is excellent murder novel that explores current cultural themes and issues. The story is seen through the eyes of the two main characters to give you the perspective of 'old school' and 'new school' policing and how the styles compliment each other. Leather's attention to detail makes the background of the story colourful and realistic. This novel shows that Leather is not just about Spider Shepherd or Jack Nightingale. Highly recommended, excellent narration as well.

I hope that this is a new series
Harry Porter has a lot to learn in terms of the correct way to handle some people and some situations. Sal, needs to stop second guessing people’s opinion of him. They need each other and Ned to learn how to communicate with each other.
I think that they’ll get there. I also hope that this is the beginning of a new series. It has mileage.
The narrators are both very good, especially Homer Todiwala. Weirdly, I found myself missing Paul Thornley...
Please can we have more?

Murder Investigations, motive and outcome.
The presentation of the main characters was very good their strengths and weaknesses. the background of both men was well worked and added to to the drama. Loved the twists and turns as the story progressed.

Poor narration
This was a very heavy British Police procedural. I had no idea so many management roles were involved in a murder investigation.
The idea of a young British Muslim DC being paired with an ignorant or naive older copper was cute but the younger one did an appallingly grating impression of his boss.
I guessed the whodunnit fairly early on.
Too bureaucratic, and not enough dramatic for my taste!’
