Mark Whitelaw
Born in 1947, Mark M Whitelaw forged a career in retail and wholesale before
venturing into self-employment. The last ten years have been spent with great
satisfaction in the tourist and travel industry.
The Tinderbox is a first novel for Mark, but thoughts of writing began as far
back as 1988. Lifestyle demands and the pursuits of a growing family saw him
not commence work on this manuscript until 2002

The Tinderbox
The mysterious Tinderbox Penisula harbours a terrible secret… The evidence from the press clippings is indisputable - a pattern of crime spanning more than a decade and not a single arrest. Read more about “The Tinderbox”
