โฆ Synopsis
STUNNING NEW CRIME SET IN THE CAPITAL'S LEAST LOVED QUARTER Reporter Rex Tracey has just recovered from his affair with Lithuanian artist Milda Majauskas when she disappears. He's got other concerns, not least an anti-immigration group spreading hate across Tottenham, and a string of attacks on young women at the local beauty spot, Alexandra Palace. But when Rex himself becomes a suspect, he is forced to seek answers.Amongst the tea-houses and squats, the yam shops and tower blocks of this little-glimpsed, forever-changing London, Rex unearths a trail of secrets and falsehoods, from corrupt police to illegal factories. But the truth behind Milda's fate evades him until the final twist, when Rex, and the last people to see her, must all account for their guilt.
