It features an unforgettable female protagonist – a London barrister, who is drawn back into her father’s gangland world, when he’s found murdered. Saima Mir was born in Bradford and worked as young journalist there, an experience that has informed her exciting debut, with its themes of family loyalty, gang warfare and retribution. The Khan has been optioned by BBC Studios.
