Damien Lewis, (not to be confused with the actor Damian Lewis)
... But I was confused!😀
I'm currently reading the latest (but, hopefully, not the last) book by A A Dhand, The Blood Divide. His earlier books were about a Bradford detective. Soon to be released as a series called Virdee.
I started reading them because they are set in my nearest city. Then I continued to read them all because I enjoyed the characters and plots.
It's great to have a book one can sink one's teeth into, so to speak...but shit when that book ends.
