No Nonsense Policing

Girl Zero by A.A Dhand is an exciting contemporary crime suspense. It is the second book in the Harry Virdee series but can be read as a stand-alone. I enjoyed meeting up with familiar faces.

Once more the reader catches up with Harry Virdee and his brother Ronnie. Both are determined to change the streets of Bradford – one as a cop and one as a criminal. “One who enforced the rules. And one who made his own.” Terrible circumstances force the brothers to work together.

The Bradford streets can be dangerous places. An escapee from the underworld has been plotting revenge, now it is time to put the pieces into play.

The locations mirror the action which is very dark and stormy. Harry Virdee is determined to clean up the streets of Bradford. He will do whatever is necessary to protect the innocent. He is a tough cop with a heart of gold who is not afraid to push boundaries.

Girl Zero is a suspenseful read that I just could not put down. As the action ramped up, so did my heart rate.

The Harry Virdee series is fabulous. It would translate perfectly into a Netflix series – any producers out there please take note. It is on to book three next for me.

A word of caution: There is language that some readers may not like. It does add to the authenticity of the book rather than distract. I skipped over some of the words.
