The Bag Carrier

One City, Two Cultures. One Murder, Two CopsA dead body in the prayer hall of a mosque isn't the best start to the day for anyone.But for Detective Inspector Harold Porter it's all in a day's work - he's a Murder Detective with the Metropolitan Police's Homicide and Serious Crimes Command.The problem is that DI Porter has been given a new partner - a young Muslim detective by the name of Mohammed Salim Nasri.Nasri and Porter are both British and they are both cops, but they look at the world - and the case - from completely different viewpoints.And when that case includes Islamic terrorists, acid-throwing fundamentalists and knife-wielding fanatics that can only mean problems. As Porter and Nasri work to solve the murder case, MI5 is watching over their shoulders and one wrong move could mean a major terrorist incident exploding in the capital.Praise for Stephen Leather's Dan "Spider" Shepherd series -Let Spider draw you into his web, you won't regret it.
