About this ebook

The new manager at the Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger Museum is not the man-mountain the townsfolk think he is. But he might not be who he says he is either.

One thing is certain though in the rheumy eyes of two octogenarians who come to his rescue – the odds have been unfairly stacked against him.

That's why they decide to break a silly law. If they can prove the Tasmanian Tiger still exists, despite it having been declared officially extinct, it'll give him a chance to turn the tables.

This is the opening book in a series of seven comedic mysteries based on the island of Tasmania at the bottom of Australia.

"Great characters. Great fun. Hilarious blend of characters and lies."

The silly law has made Windy Mountain a one-dog town, and the two elderly scallywags want to punish the stuck-up former mayor for coming up with the plan.

Helping Paddy isn't their only motivation.

​​​​​​​The former mayor has also invested the other old men's 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.

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.

Order your copy of Lie of the Tiger now and start laughing along to the Windy Mountain series.

Got 60% through it and gave up. Was interesting and humorous at first but it just kept going on and on without seemingly going anywhere till it just got boring.

About the author

Like most people, John Martin has never seen a Tasmanian Tiger that wasn't stuffed. But that doesn't stop him writing about them along with a host of quirky characters in his comedic mystery Windy Mountain series.

This writer is a former newspaper journalist who is now free to be frivolous. His home is Canberra, Australia, but he started life and work in Tasmania.
