Book synopsis

Based on a true story. On a remote Philippines beach, a young woman's body is found. The corrupt local police think they have found the perfect fall guy in Maximo Bonga - cantankerous World War Two veteran and owner of the weirdest guesthouse in town. But unbeknownst to them, an unlikely friendship has been forged between Maximo and John, one of the boarders of Maximo's guest-house-cum-boot-camp, where an old machine gun and camouflaged mantraps stand guard and a tyrannical rooster terrorises the guests. Along with a rag-tag bunch of misfits, John sets out to defend the old soldier in a kangaroo court set up at the local cockpit, in a skewed paradise like no other.
