Deadly kerfuffle / Tony Martin. - South Melbourne, Victoria : Affirm Press, 2017. - 276 pages ; 24 cm.
It's 2006, and terror scaremongering in the media has rattled the residents of sleepy, suburban Dunlop Crescent. When a Maori family moves into number 14, the local cranks assume they are Middle Eastern terrorists hell-bent on destroying the Australian way of life. Rumour has it that they plan to turn their house to face Mecca. This sets off an extraordinary chain of events that embroils the entire neighbourhood as well as cynical media figures, bumbling anti-terrorist police, and a gang of white supremacists with a radical plan to wake up the country and 'preserve Australian values'. At the centre of it all is Gordon, a retired widower, who just wants a bit of peace and quiet.
