Travel Guide

Bradford

The city is shared between two vultures in this crime novel, Shahid Khan and Bazza Green who have been involved in a turf war despite having rubbed along together or years. Each had stuck to their own neck of Bradford but now this seems to be changing.

There is a serial killer stalking its streets:

“The dam vulture would be out in force yelling ‘serial killer’ and citing Bradford’s existing reputation with the Yorkshire Ripper and the Crossbow Cannibal”

This is the vice view of the city, Bradford with its cast of evil characters and both corruption outside its police force and within. This is a city where the immigration population live side by side with each other without integrating itw would seem and where , if there is a criminal in their midst, they remain hidden. Nothing seems to help the tensions of a city on the edge
