A brutal murder. A blighted investigation. The true story of five men damned by a crime they didn’t commit.
On Valentine’s Day 1988, twenty-year-old Lynette White was brutally murdered in a dark corner of Cardiff’s world-famous, and infamous, Tiger Bay. Stigmatised by a bad reputation, the area was on the brink of major redevelopment which would change the historic community forever.
South Wales Police launched its biggest murder hunt to date, and within weeks detectives released a photofit of a prime suspect seen outside the murder scene, his hands covered in blood. A white man. But as the months passed by and no arrest was made, the police came under inevitable pressure.
Everyone knew John Actie. But he didn’t know Lynette White. Yet, almost a year after her death, he and four other innocent men were charged with killing her. None matched the description, and none were white. But they became the scapegoats in what some saw as a desperate attempt to close the case.
Told predominantly through John Actie’s eyes, The Boy from Tiger Bay is an explosive true-crime narrative that exposes one of the UK’s most infamous murder investigations—a story of racial injustice and the enduring fight to bring the truth to light.

“Raw, shocking, and powerful. A haunting account of wrongful imprisonment and the devastating impact on those falsely accused.”—Cheryl Rees-Price, author of The Silent Quarry
“An engrossing, page-turning read that forensically chronicles a miscarriage of justice that devastated the lives of the five accused. Jackson’s research is meticulous and the story grips like a thriller.”—Sarah Ward, author of In Bitter Chill
“The Boy from Tiger Bay reads like a compulsive crime thriller, only this is a true story. In 1988, South Wales Police launched their biggest murder hunt to date, and 5 innocent men were charged for a crime they didn’t commit. Thoroughly researched, and driven by a strong sense of racial injustice, this book uncovers a shameful period in policing history. Read it and rage.”—Paul Burston, author of We Can Be Heroes
