Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Please remind me, what are the detective books set around Haringey?
I saw the books mentioned on HoL years ago & immediately went & bought two from the series. I really enjoyed them & ended up giving them to friends & neighbours to read.
The stories are based around here, the main character works for the local newspaper but ends up getting involved trying to solve some local crimes. I seem to remember one of the books involved a chase scene around Tottenham. Does this ring any bells with anyone? It’s been long enough that I’d like to buy & read them again!

Funny you should ask that. I asked Liz the same thing just last week. From what she told me, I dug up this thread. Is that the one you mean?

there are actually three! The third is Black Day at the Bosphorus Café.
I wish he'd write more.

There's another writer of crime dramas set very firmly in this area too. I remember two (but not the author). One set around Geen Lanes and featuring a dramatic gang fight in the corridors and staircases of Shopping City and a spooky, witch-y one which I imagined set in Highgate or Queens Wood. I'd be glad to re-read them some time.

They sound interesting. You don’t remember either titles? Is one of them Her Fearful Symmetry? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6202342-her-fearful-symmetry
