The Tiger Coat

The Tiger Coat’ is the first crime thriller featuring the flawed but likeable Bryn Lawton as he starts his police career. Here is a young, naive but enthusiastic new recruit poised to make his mark.

His posting to a remote, isolated Welsh village with little support and a marriage already on the rocks, proves to be a baptism of fire.

Sound like a story you have heard before?

Well, this is no ordinary village…

This is a village populated not only with criminals but also eccentrics, oddballs, undesirables and even a Nazi war criminal! As Bryn becomes embroiled in this community, chaos ensues, and his personal life gradually falls apart. He embarks on a dangerous affair with Fiona Henley, a glamorous good-time girl who also happens to be the wife of a London villain. A year into his posting, Bryn is inadvertently involved in the death of a young girl, witnessed by Fiona’s husband, clearly a precarious situation to navigate, with Bryn’s career, freedom and now even his life in jeopardy.
