The thing about thugs

Description

The New Yorker

“Khair’s novel is ingenious and mischievous not only in its powerful subtext about racial profiling but also in its ironic echoes of Charles Dickens and Agatha Christie.”

Library Journal

“A complex, thoughtful novel…Khair takes two large, mainly invisible cultural narratives…and blends them in powerful and enlightening ways…A fascinating and emotionally moving novel for fans of literary fiction.”
