Synopsis

A family of Hasidic Jews dies suddenly while picnicking in Finsbury Park, and the finger is quickly pointed at a gang of Islamist youths. Too quickly, thinks local reporter Rex Tracey.
Rex starts to investigate. But when his long-time colleague and friend is also accused of murder, the sleuthing journalist with a fondness for Polish lager and dry one-liners is catapulted out of his depth, into a disturbing world of religious fanaticism, false prophets and century-old secrets.

Review:

'M.H. Baylis introduces the London borough of Tottenham to crime fiction, and it performs extremely well . . . fast-moving and very entertaining'
THE TIMES

'Richly enjoyable . . . both a satisfyingly plotted crime thriller, and a love letter to an often-overlooked corner of London'
INDEPENDENT

'An excellent crime novel as well as a sharply observed slice of contemporary London life'
GUARDIAN

'A sparky, unexpected thriller . . . His delicate sense of place gives Baylis a special authenticity'
DAILY MAIL

'A streetwise murder tale for crime connoisseurs ... M.H. Baylis is on to a winning combination with his Rex Tracey mysteries'
INDEPENDENT on THE TOTTENHAM OUTRAGE

'The Tottenham Outrage is jam-packed both with characters and with character: funny, vivacious and enthralling. It's written with skill, observation, understanding and a relish for contemporary life in a teeming part of London that will, I hope, provide many more stories ... Read and enjoy.'
