'They're different, that's for sure. And I wouldn't put anything past 'em.'

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 that they are planning on turning 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 who decide that bombing a national landmark is the best way 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.

DEADLY KERFUFFLE is a smart, riveting and incredibly funny novel inspired by actual letters to the editor in a local newspaper. Through biting satire and a cast of unforgettable characters, it's an insight into the kind of paranoia that could only ever blossom in the quietest and safest of places.
