SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2021SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA
NOVEL AWARD 2021'Chilling and utterly compelling, The Fortune Men
shines an essential light on a much-neglected period of our
national life' Sathnam Sanghera, author of EmpirelandMahmood Mattan
is a fixture in Cardiff's Tiger Bay, 1952, which bustles with
Somali and West Indian sailors, Maltese businessmen and Jewish
families. He is a father, chancer, some-time petty thief. He is
many things, in fact, but he is not a murderer.So when a shopkeeper
is brutally killed and all eyes fall on him, Mahmood isn't too
worried. It is true that he has been getting into trouble more
often since his Welsh wife Laura left him. But Mahmood is secure in
his innocence in a country where, he thinks, justice is served.It
is only in the run-up to the trial, as the prospect of freedom
dwindles, that it will dawn on Mahmood that he is in a terrifying
fight for his life - against conspiracy, prejudice and the
inhumanity of the state. And, under the shadow of the hangman's
noose, he begins to realise that the truth may not be enough to
save him. 'A writer of great humanity and intelligence.Nadifa
Mohamed deeply understands how lives are shaped both by the grand
sweep of history and the intimate encounters of human beings'
Kamila Shamsie, author of Home Fire'A novel of tremendous power,
compassion and subtlety, it feels unsettlingly timely' Pankaj
Mishra
