KICK-ASS FEMALE PROTAGONISTS:

Saima Mir has written for The Times, the Guardian and the Independent. Her debut novel, The Khan, was a Times Bestseller, a Guardian best crime and thriller and a Waterstones Thriller of the Month. Her essay for It’s Not About The Burqa (Picador) appeared in Guardian Weekend and received over 250,000 hits online in two days.
