I am Max Lamm

Max Lamm is in trouble. On the run from the internet sex scandal that has derailed his burgeoning tennis career, he tries to begin a new life in London. But one night in Camden Town, he accidentally kills a fifteen-year-old Pakistani boy who tries to mug him and inadvertently sets off the worst race riot in a generation.

As London’s East End erupts, Max finds refuge in strange quarters – and with it, one last chance to plot his salvation. I am Max Lamm is a darkly humorous exploration of family loyalty, disgrace and collective hysteria in the age of terror.
