Tottenham Outrage (Rex Tracy #2)

Temporarily out of stock

An entire family of Hasidic Jews dies suddenly while picnicking in Finsbury Park. Local reporter Rex Tracey, more used to writing about dog mess and library closures, hopes to solve the mystery and save his ailing newspaper in one move. Then his long-time colleague and friend Terry is accused of murder, and Rex is catapulted further into a disturbing world of religious bigotry, false prophets and long buried secrets.

AUTHOR:
M.H. Baylis is a novelist, journalist and scriptwriter. He worked for the BBC as a storyliner on EastEnders (where he helped devise the ratings-grabbing Valentine's Day murder plot and made Dot Cotton consume cannabis), before moving to Kenya and Cambodia, where he trained local scriptwriters and created TV dramas for the BBC. After a spell living in a remote mountain village on the Pacific
island of Tanna, he returned to Britain to take up his present role as television critic for the Daily Express. Baylis's first crime novel, A Death at the Palace, was published to much acclaim in 2013. As Matthew Baylis, he is the author of Man Belong Mrs Queen (2013), which was a BBC Radio 4 'Book of the Week'.

REVIEWS:
With an appealing protagonist, a cast of vivid characters and a powerful sense of place, this is an excellent crime novel as well as a sharply observed slice of contemporary London life – and the good news is that it promises to be the first in a series.'
-GUARDIAN on A Death at the Palace

'A sparky, unexpected thriller . . . His delicate sense of
place gives Baylis a special authenticity, which – when you
add neat characterisation and plotting – make him a crime writer to watch.'
-DAILY MAIL on A Death at the Palace

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

-THE TIMES on A Death at the Palace

'A richly enjoyable novel, working as both a satisfyingly
plotted crime thriller, and a love letter to an often-overlooked corner of London.'
- INDEPENDENT on A Death at the Palace
