![]() But Mahmood is secure in his innocence in a country where, he thinks, justice is served. It is true that he has been getting into trouble more often since his Welsh wife Laura left him. So when a shopkeeper is brutally killed and all eyes fall on him, Mahmood isn't too worried. He is many things, in fact, but he is not a murderer. He is a father, chancer, some-time petty thief. Mahmood Mattan is a fixture in Cardiff's Tiger Bay, 1952, which bustles with Somali and West Indian sailors, Maltese businessmen and Jewish families.
