Review :
The plot races to a splendidly dramatic ending; Chowdhury’s writing is compelling and compassionate, especially on the themes of displacement, and divided loyalties personal and political. Chowdhury is brilliant at incidental detail and unexpected plot twists, while highlighting the conflicts experienced by characters with a foot in more than one culture Ever since I discovered Ajay Chowdhury's wonderful Kamil Rahman detective novels, they have offered a feast of great stories, vivid characters, mouth-watering food and fascinating insight into the world of Bengali Muslims in London's Brick Lane. I love his mix of humane feeling, romantic comedy and very modern plotting. THE SPY is his fourth and most ambitious, tackling trans-continental crime,.and pitting his engagingly modest, emotionally confused and very brave hero against the worst villain yet. He is a pleasure to read. Nobody writes about modern London like Ajay Chowdhury. This book rings with passion for the city's life, its food, its politics - and above all - its darkness. An intelligent, immersive thriller absolutely brimming with tension. Ajay Chowdhury’s deftness of touch brings both realism and sensitivity to a difficult theme. Superb writing The 400-odd incident-packed pages pass in a flash The Kamil & Anjoli crime fiction series from Ajay Chowdhury is bursting with innovative thinking... If you’re new to Kamil, what joy for you to have a long & growing series ahead of you
