Synopsis

El sargento británico Lester Ferris, veterano de Iraq y Afganistán, es un buen hombre al borde de la jubilación. Por ello es destinado a Mancreu, una remota excolonia británica suspendida en un limbo legal y ambiental, asentada sobre residuos tóxicos y condenada a desaparecer. Mancreu es también el escenario perfecto para negocios turbios: espionaje, tráfico de armas, blanqueo de dinero, drogas y centros ilegales de detención. Allì, Lester entabla amistad con un niño de la calle obsesionado con los cómics, que pronto necesitará un nuevo hogar. Cuando la violencia estalla, Lester se verá obligado a redescubrir al héroe que fue y convertirse en el protector que la isla y el niño necesitan. Tigerman es una novela trepidante, profundamente humana y sorprendentemente divertida sobre la paternidad, la amistad y las identidades secretas.

British sergeant Lester Ferris, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, is a decent man on the verge of retirement. He is posted to Mancreu, a remote former British colony trapped in a legal and environmental limbo, built on toxic waste and facing imminent destruction. Mancreu is also a perfect haven for shady multinational business: espionage, arms trafficking, money laundering, drugs, and illegal detention centers. There, Lester befriends a streetwise boy obsessed with comic books, who will soon need a new home. When violence erupts, Lester is forced to rediscover the action hero he once was and become the kind of protector both the island and the boy desperately need. Tigerman is a fast-paced, deeply moving, and unexpectedly funny novel about fatherhood, friendship, and secret identities.
