AA Dhand: crime writer on the real-world experiences that inspired 'The Chemist'

In a previous life, crime writer AA Dhand dealt with a lot, including overdoses, violence, and abuse, to name a few.  Amit worked on the frontline of the NHS crisis, running his 100 hour pharmacy in Bradford - surrounded by drugs, drug dealers and giving him insight into the lives of addicts and the dealers preying on the vulnerable.  He turned these experiences into a crime thriller, The Chemist. "I kind of wrote it as Dexter meets Breaking Bad. The idea came to me when I was at my pharmacy and I'd seen a very unfortunate drug deal go wrong and somebody had died outside my pharmacy...the whole area was on lockdown with police and helicopters."
