This is definitely one of my favourite series, and I loved this book as much as the previous two.
As for the narration, I seem to be in the minority, but I prefer the first narrator as his voice fits better with the book. One minor niggle about Ramon Tikaram's narration - the town of Keighley is pronounced 'Keethley' and not 'Keeley'.

For Detective Harry Virdee life is just getting more and more complicated. His estranged father is ill and may not survive but this has meant that his wife and mother have finally met. His brother Ronnie is still mired in the drugs trade and mourning the loss of his daughter. Meanwhile three women have been killed in Bradford with the killer implying that they are sinners and that there is a link to Harry. However when the killer kidnaps the daughter of the Home Secretary, a whole other level of attention is about to focus on Harry and he'll need to cross lines irrevocably.
AA Dhand has written a series of books about Harry Verde and set in Bradford. Each gets better than the last and this latest is brilliant. Living close to Bradford I know the city and I know the delicate relationships between the different cultures which Dhand understands and uses for his plots. Here there is racism and concerns about immigration but with gentle twists and nothing is laboured, just appears subtly and is manipulated beautifully. Just to top it off, there is a really exciting link into the next in the series.
