WELCOME TO YOUR DREAM HOME

MEET YOUR NEW NEIGHBOURS

AND PREPARE FOR THE NIGHTMARE TO BEGIN

Salma Khatun is extremely hopeful about Hampton, the safe district to which she, her husband and their son have just moved.

But soon Salma sees her neighbour throw a ball at the anti-racist banner her son put in their front garden. She doesn't complain because she wants her family to fit in. But then worse things start to happen things Salma can't ignore. A battle begins and quickly turns into a deadly nightmare.

A gripping thriller about nightmare neighbours, Those People Next Door explores the loss of innocence and how far we're prepared to go to defend ourselves and the people we love.

Praise for Those People Next Door:

'This powerful social drama about racism and microaggression in today's society is a must-read' Prima

'A stunning, thought-provoking and morally challenging read. It had me guessing until the ingenious reveal a world-class story' Graham Bartlett, author of Bad For Good

'A tense, clever tale about the seething underbelly of a picture-perfect suburban town' Country and Town House

In Those People Next Door, Abdullah takes us on a journey through the life of a small, rural community, where political tensions are as much a part of the landscape as the fields and farms. This top-rated fiction novel is a masterclass in storytelling, with a narrative that is as compelling as it is thought-provoking.

For fans of John Marrs (The Stranger in Her House), Tm Logan (The Holiday), Lisa Jewell (The Making of Us), Gillian Mcallister (Just Another Missing Person), and Andrea Mara (No One Saw a Thing).
