A gripping, funny and twisty new spy thriller
Born in Karachi, Pakistan in 1975 Khurrum moved to England when he was one. He is a west London boy and now lives in Berkshire with his wife and two sons.
Khurrum is currently working as a Senior IT Officer but his real love is writing. He has a screenplay which has been optioned by a Danish TV producer but is now concentrating on novels.
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 '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
