Publisher's summary

From the critically acclaimed author Ausma Zehanat Khan, A Deadly Divide is the devastatingly powerful new thriller featuring beloved series Detectives Esa Khattak and Rachel Getty.

In the aftermath of a mass shooting at a mosque in Quebec, the local police apprehend Amadou Duchon - a young Muslim man at the scene helping the wounded - but release Etienne Roy, the local priest who was found with a weapon in his hands.

The shooting looks like a hate crime, but Detectives Esa Khattak and Rachel Getty sense there is more to the story. Sent to liaise with a community in the grip of fear, they find themselves in fraught new territory, fueled by the panic and suspicion exploited by a right-wing radio host.

As Rachel and Esa grapple to stop tensions shutting the case down entirely, all the time, someone is pointing Esa in another direction, a shadowy presence who anticipates his every move.

A Deadly Divide is a piercingly observed, gripping thriller that reveals the fractures that try to tear us all apart: from the once-tight partnership between Detectives Esa and Rachel to the truth about a deeply divided nation.

Really loved this series

I was a little iffy with the first book, but this has quickly become one of my favorite detective series. I especially enjoyed this one in particular. I'm gutted to see how long it's been since a new one has come out with the monumentous cliffhanger and perfect set up for the next book. It appears Khan might be sadly done with these books and we'll never get to see how the rest plays out, based on her comments on social media. It was a pleasure while it lasted, and I really hope she gets back to writing at least one more someday.
