Omar Shahid Hamid: Crime, Conscience, and the Stories Behind the Badge
In this episode, Omar Shahid Hamid — former police officer and acclaimed crime-fiction author — reflects on how years spent in Karachi’s counter-terrorism and law enforcement shaped his storytelling. From The Prisoner to The Party Worker, his novels explore the moral grey zones between justice, power, and survival. Hamid discusses how real-world violence and political corruption translate into fiction, why Karachi itself feels like a living character in his work, and how he balances authenticity with sensitivity when writing about the city’s underbelly. He also examines how South Asian crime narratives are evolving in the global literary scene, and what universal human truths lie beneath his stories of crime, loyalty, and redemption.
