A.A. Dhand

A. A Dhand is a reputed British-Asian author of crime fiction, thriller, and mystery novels. He is particularly popular for writing the Detective Hary Virdee series, which is a renowned series of crime fiction books. The recent books written by Dhand take place in Bradford’s West Yorkshire city. Dhand has described this city as a former industrial city and a shadow of its past. He has also shown that West Yorkshire is rife with crime, complex inter-communal obstacles and social deprivation, and therefore, a perfect setting for his crime fiction stories. Dhand was brought up in Bradford. His father migrated from Asia and owned a corner shop in the city. Originally, Dhand is a trained pharmacist and has worked for a brief period of London. Later, he came back to his home town to run his own pharmacy business and also write books from the comfort of his home.
