Ausma Zehanat Khan

The Khattak and Getty novels give a Canadian detective who is Muslim cases that are always really about a community. The Unquiet Dead turns on a Bosnian war criminal living quietly in Toronto, and on Srebrenica. A Deadly Divide is a mosque shooting. Khan holds a doctorate in international human rights law with a thesis on the killings in Bosnia and edited a magazine for Muslim women before fiction, and she writes fantasy alongside the crime. The research is why the books are not procedural wallpaper.
