Praise for Homegrown Hero: 'Thrilling and immersive ...violence, love, humour and razor-sharp observation keep the pages turning' Sunday Times Crime Club 'A timely addition to the new breed of socially committed British thrillers.' Guardian 'Brilliantly epic. Jay is now definitely one of my favourite fictional characters ever. Homegrown Hero is a wild ride of hilarity and horror - I spent the final pages reading madly and clutching my head.' lizlovesbooks.com 'I thought that Khurrum Rahman's first novel, East Of Hounslow, was very good. Homegrown Hero is even better. An absolutely cracking story which is full of tension, extremely exciting and which I found difficult to put down. Absolutely excellent' Sid N, Netgalley 'I was gripped from start to finish.' Elaine T, Netgalley 'Nail biting ... With a splash of humour, a likeable protagonist, and a sympathetic antagonist you can't help but root for too, there really is little not to like.' James P, Netgalley Praise for East of Hounslow: 'A brilliant thriller. You'd be mad not to buy this.' Ben Aaronovitch '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 'The story goes at a fine pace and Qasim is a nuanced, sympathetic protagonist' Financial Times '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 Colum...[a] superb and exciting debut novel' Telegraph A 'very funny, 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 'Builds to a heart-constricting climax' Times Crime Club 'Hilarious. Brilliant. So absorbing, you forget the rest of the world exists.' Christine, Northern Crime
