Description
Of Max Lamm's innate qualities - the aptitude for tennis, his ability with a paintbrush, his natural appreciation for art, his uncompromising empathy for animals, his tendency to see the heart of a matter (and to ignore it) - the most exceptional was his preponderance for catastrophe. Max Lamm is in trouble. On the run from the internet sex scandal that has derailed his burgeoning tennis career, he attempts 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 beneath Hyde Park - 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.
