Two brothers. One empire. A city ready to fall.


‘We can do what no one’s ever done before. We can become gods in a game built for the devil.’


Idris Khan is no longer the man he used to be. How can he be? Murder changes people – and it has changed him. Once a respected pharmacist, Idris now walks a fine line between survival and destruction. He craves something normal in a world gone to hell – but then Zidane, his estranged brother, walks through the door. Freshly released from prison, Zidane’s presence is radioactive. Truths are laid bare. New alliances are formed. And Zidane has an offer for Idris that could blow his whole world apart: he wants them to take over the entire drug trafficking network in Leeds and Bradford, and rule together.


Now, Idris has a choice to make. Leave Leeds forever, or become the very thing he’s always feared … The Kingpin.
