... that when London barrister Imran Mahmood wrote two thrillers, he used the city's gang culture for one setting and its expensive Mayfair district for the other?

Overall: An interesting article - thanks for writing it. Please could you add the citation for the sentence about Simon Mayo's bookclub as it appears to be unreferenced? Otherwise article is new enough, long enough, seems plagiarism free and we're just waiting for an additional source. Lajmmoore (talk) 21:08, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Lajmmoore: Thanks for the review, the kind words, and catching my mistake. The book club info I got from The Bookseller. I added the cite to that sentence, hope this DYK is OK now. HouseOfChange (talk) 02:05, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
