About this book

Mahmood Mattan moves among the Somali sailors, gamblers and other regulars of Tiger Bay. The opening of this historical novel finds him at Berlin's Milk Bar as news of the King's death prompts talk of empire and independence. His attention rests instead on his appearance, his coffee and the money he has saved for a game.

The Fortune Men is built on Mahmood Mattan, a Somali seaman put to death in Cardiff in 1952 for a murder he did not commit; his conviction was quashed in 1998, the first the Criminal Cases Review Commission ever overturned. Mohamed keeps him ordinary and irritable rather than making him a symbol, which is the harder choice.
