A Tiger In Eden
Paperback Edition: 1
Shortlisted, Commonwealth Book Prize, 2013
Beautiful beaches, sexy young backpackers, cheap drinks: southern Thailand in the mid-1990s is the perfect place for a holiday.
Its also the perfect place for Billy - Loyalist hard man, NO SURRENDER chest tattoo, on the run from the Belfast police - to lie low. Hes turning away from a life of crime, but isnt sure where to go.
A series of fights and one-night stands helps put his troubles out of mind for a while. But when Billy ends up in a Buddhist retreat he learns that no matter how far you travel, your past will always catch up with you.
A heady ride of sex, drugs and bar-room brawls, A Tiger in Eden is a raucous debut novel in the anti-tradition of Trainspotting and The Beach.
