Lie of the Tiger
Información sobre este eBook
"Great characters. Great fun. Hilarious blend of characters and lies."
This is the first in a seven-book series based on the island of Tasmania at the bottom of Australia.
The two octogenarians don't just want to alter the course of ecological history. They want to ensure the former mayor gets what he deserves. They want revenge!
That stuck-up old bugger has invested their life savings in volatile gold-mining shares without their knowledge. Even worse, he’s also secretly invited a 92-year-old Irish priest to join their last-man-standing lottery – and Father O’Boring has a track record of not dying.
Quirky characters lurk around corners in this funny novel.
The whimsical adventures continue with Blokes on a Plane, Whitey and the Six Dwarfs, Blokes in Donegal, Blokes in the House, Who Knew Tasmanian Tigers Eat Apples!, and Who Knew Tiger Sharks Also Eat Apples? Three more books are on the drawing board.

You need to know more about the opening book?
OK. I can't give it all away, but:
Caught in the middle of all this black comedy is a new arrival who has some townsfolk fearful because he looks a lot like the man-mountain who once tied the same unpleasant mayor to a tree for a night of terror.
The familiar stranger reluctantly takes charge of the Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger Museum, owned by a dodgy syndicate with other plans for the site.
When the devious manager sets him up to fail, the two old blokes rescue him with their plan to revive the believed extinct Tasmanian Tiger.
The former mayor ridicules anyone who thinks the Tasmanian Tiger still roams the bush – and especially not in the main street of Windy Mountain.
