The fortune men / Nadifa Mohamed. by Mohamed, Nadifa, 1981- Alfred A. Knopf, 2021. Call #: FICTION MOH Subjects Life change events -- Fiction.   Murder -- Investigation -- Fiction.   Tiger Bay (Cardiff, Wales) -- History -- 20th century -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780593534366 (hc) Edition:  1st United States ed. Description:  304 p. ; 24 cm. Notes:  "Booker Prize finalist"--Cover. "This is a Borzoi book"--T.p. verso. Summary:  "In Cardiff, Wales in 1952, Mahmood Mattan, a young Somali sailor, is accused of a crime he did not commit: the brutal killing of Violet Volacki, a shopkeeper from Tiger Bay. At first, Mahmood believes he can ignore the fingers pointing his way; he may be a gambler and a petty thief, but he is no murderer. He is a father of three, secure in his innocence and his belief in British justice. But as the trial draws closer, his prospect for freedom dwindles. Now, Mahmood must stage a terrifying fight for his life, with all the chips stacked against him: a shoddy investigation, an inhumane legal system, and, most evidently, pervasive and deep-rooted racism at every step. Under the shadow of the hangman's noose, Mahmood begins to realize that even the truth may not be enough to save him. A haunting tale of miscarried justice, this book offers a chilling look at the dark corners of our humanity."--Publisher. Genre:  Historical fiction. Legal stories. Literary fiction.
