Remember, one man's breezy plot summary may be another man's spoiler.

Even within one British immigrant Muslim family, the members have varying degrees of loyalty to the Muslim culture in their country of origin and their present way of life in England.

The police, specifically DCI Henry Christie, have to deal with a shame killing of a Muslim female doctor as well as terrorist plotting by related Muslim individuals.

While I wait for more Nick Oldham novels from the library system, I am picking up a NYT recommended book.
