PRAISE FOR A DANGEROUS CROSSING
"Khan’s doctorate and research in international human relations law give credence to her portrayal of a timely situation. The search for Audrey also is a search for meaning and justice in a world of hatred, betrayal, and despair where the characters are nearly as complex as the global relations. This is a series well worth investigating." |
"Khan’s community policing series has walked a careful tightrope between entertainment and social responsibility, each volume addressing a societal ill with a high-octane investigation.

Set on a Greek isle and with a plot involving the Syrian refugee crisis...Khan’s latest leads us on a suspenseful hunt for a missing woman and through a perilous and uncertain landscape." |

"Khan skillfully sheds light on the very human side of the war in Syria .... Though a single novel cannot shift this narrative, A Dangerous Crossing does an excellent job of portraying the situation in Syria in a way that will help readers recognize hard truths. Moreover, it does so while drawing them into the type of carefully woven, multi-layered mystery that has become characteristic of Khan's expert novels." |
