Idris Khan is no longer the man he used to be. How can he be? Murder changes people - and it has changed him.
But he drags himself through another day at the pharmacy. He's expecting his usual evening ritual - Rebecca's visit for methadone, a flicker of something normal in a world which has gone to hell - but instead, Zidane, his estranged brother, walks through the door. Freshly released from prison, Zidane is back, and his presence is radioactive. Truths are laid bare. New alliances are formed. And Zidane has an offer for Idris that could blow his whole world apart.
Now, Idris has a choice to make: leave Leeds forever, or become the very thing he's always feared ...

Praise for A. A. Dhand:

A. A. Dhand is the Sunday Times bestselling author of several novels and has been shortlisted for the CWA Steel Dagger Award. The Chemist was an instant Sunday Times bestseller, and his DI Harry Virdee novels have been adapted for TV by the BBC. He was raised in Bradford and spent his youth observing the city from behind the counter of a small convenience store. After qualifying as a pharmacist, he worked in London and travelled extensively before returning to Bradford to start his own business and begin writing. The history, diversity and darkness of the city have inspired all his novels.
As a pharmacist, A. A. Dhand was surrounded by drugs, dealers, and incredible stories of maverick drug deals, which on one hand blew his mind in their ingenuity, and on the other sickened him with how easily they preyed on the most vulnerable. His experiences inspired the writing of The Chemist and The Kingpin.
