      Ishi
    • Millions go to Goa every year to indulge in the hedonistic pleasures of this former Indo-Portuguese colony. Some never return. Set in Goa, this page-turner combines crime, romance and rough beach justice into a story that grabs you all the way, with the action flipping from Wales to Anjuna, once an idyllic fishing village, where mass tourism threatens to overwhelm the local community. Ceri arrives to escape a troubled life in a dead-end Welsh town and finds herself being groomed by the Beachboys. She falls for Igor, a member of the Ukes from Kiev who woos her with his poongi, a musical instrument of the local Banjara gypsies. The two gangs fight it out while the two lovers conduct their dangerous love affair undercover, unleashing a spiral of murder and betrayal. With startling twists and turns, the action races to a shattering conclusion.

      The Day I Died
