The Mint with a Hole Edward Barry Seward

A chance meeting in a country pub in Wales offers Tom, a building boss, a golden opportunity for a new life with his lovely girlfriend, Jill. The Plan: rob the new Royal Mint near Tom's building site in Llantrisant. The MO: get the lads to dig a tunnel under the common to the cash. The Snags: two unruly water courses, two dead bodies, and a wounded Leyland Hippo lorry, stuck in a stream. . . Will Tom, Jill and partner Ken make it into the Mint and a prosperous future? Share their hopes and fears - and their darkly humorous adventures in The Mint with a Hole, a beautifully observed saga of the 1960's that's as refreshing as its name.
