All Cut Up — Bruce Crowther

In this blackly comic and politically incorrect tale, all kinds of prejudice are encountered - racial, religious, sexual. When Jimmy's forgetful mum disappears he is suspected of killing her, while he fears that she has fallen foul of a sadistic serial killer. Jimmy and his pals from the Team, West London pub quiz champions, set out to uncover the truth, inadvertently stumbling into a neo-Nazi plot to take over one of Britain's much-loved institutions. The Team is a motley lot: unemployed Jimmy, his Nigerian martial arts expert girlfriend, an old bomb-making Jewish street busker, a foxtrotting Arabian mystery man, and a dim-witted but weirdly gifted skinhead. Dogged by a jaded, ambitious and seriously bigoted policeman, the Team's search uncovers many unpalatable truths - not only about their dangerously intolerant and unpredictable world, but also about themselves.
