This law has made Windy Mountain a one-dog town, and the two old scallywags want to punish the stuck-up former mayor for coming up with the plan. "Great characters. Great fun. Hilarious blend of characters and lies." The former mayor, an octogenarian himself, has invested the other old men's life savings in volatile gold-mining shares without their knowledge.

Produktbeschreibung
Two octogenarians break a silly law to "prove" that the extinct Tasmanian Tiger lives on. This law has made Windy Mountain a one-dog town, and the two old scallywags want to punish the stuck-up former mayor for coming up with the plan. "Great characters. Great fun. Hilarious blend of characters and lies." The former mayor, an octogenarian himself, has 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. This is the first in a seven-book series based on the island of Tasmania at the bottom of Australia. 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. Caught in the middle is a new arrival who has some townsfolk fearful because he looks a lot like the man-mountain who once tied the same unpleasant mayor to a tree for a night of terror. The familiar stranger reluctantly takes charge of the Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger Museum, owned by a dodgy syndicate with other plans for the site. When the devious manager sets him up to fail, the two old blokes rescue him with their plan to revive the believed extinct Tasmanian Tiger. The former mayor ridicules anyone who thinks the Tasmanian Tiger still roams the bush - and especially not in the main street of Windy Mountain.
