The Tinder Box delves into strange goings on in a close-knit community following a particularly brutal murder. Small town prejudices lead the village to wage a hate campaign against an Irish family, believing labourer Patrick O'Riordan to be the culprit. Siobhan Lavenham is the only inhabitant of the village who believes in his innocence and protests loudly against the community's behaviour towards the O'Riordans. As more and more information is uncovered, even she starts to have her doubts about the events surrounding the murder. A fascinating examination of prejudice and loyalty.
In this engrossing and disturbing novella from the author of 'The Ice House', the small Hampshire village of Sowerbridge is shocked by a brutal murder. As the truth rapidly unfurls, it seems that Sowerbridge residents need to be very afraid.
