Description
London's Notting Hill was hot and tired in August 1958. The end of World War II had brought a flood of Caribbean migrants to the area, but ten years later racial tension still simmered. DI Stratton's new posting found him caught up in this volatile mix. A notorious landlord, Danny Perlmann, was making a fortune from high rents charged to immigrants and prostitutes. When his rent collector was murdered, Stratton was tasked with investigating. Stratton's case would take him into the heart of Notting Hill's racial tensions and the seedy underbelly of its streets. A young runaway, Irene, was caught in the middle of this conflict, on the verge of entering a world from which there was no return. As Stratton delved deeper into the murder, he uncovered a complex web of relationships and motives that threatened to tear the community apart. The Riot is a gripping mystery set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war London's Notting Hill.
