A Jay Qasim short story and prequel to EAST OF HOUNSLOW written for Quick Reads 2021.
Khurrum’s novel introduces Javid Qasim, a happy-go-lucky small scale dope dealer, who goes on to feature in his novels East of Hounslow, Homegrown Hero and Ride or Die. Short of cash, Jay gets a welcome call to swing by a house party to deliver some weed to some local university students. But as the party gets out of hand, a routine police call-out becomes much more serious when one party goer is stabbed and their life hangs in the balance.
