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.

From the critically acclaimed author Ausma Zehanat Khan, A Deadly Divide is the devastatingly powerful new thriller featuring beloved Detectives Esa Khattak and Rachel Getty.
AUSMA ZEHANAT KHAN holds a Ph.D. in International Human Rights Law and is a former adjunct law professor. She was Editor-in-Chief of "Muslim Girl" magazine, the first magazine targeted to young Muslim women. A British-born Canadian, Khan now lives in Colorado with her husband. "The Language of Secrets "is her second novel. Peter Ganim is an American of Lebanese, Slovak and Syrian descent. He is a stage, television and film actor, as well as director, writer, teacher and filmmaker. He also does voiceovers. A lot of them. He began in front of the microphone in 1994 with corporate and incentive travel narration. He is accredited and certified by a number of organisations with cool acronyms, like AFTRA, SAG, the APA and SaVoa.
'Khan peoples her police procedural with believably nuanced
characters to highlight the consequences of hate. The tension never
lets down.'
*Kirkus Reviews*
'Khan masterfully weavers story-driving character development and
pitch-perfect investigation with timely social commentary on the
impact of cultural tensions.'
