The mystery is finally over, thanks to concerned citizen Ty N Batson. Batson reveals Mr Big's identity in his candid new crime novel aptly titled MR BIG which will be launched at Nigel R Khan Bookseller, West Mall branch on 10 February 2011.
Mr Big first came to the attention of the public when, five years ago, then Prime Minister Patrick Manning put Trinidad and Tobago on a Mr Big alert. Manning announced in parliament that he knew the identity of Mr Big, the mastermind behind the crime wave engulfing Trinidad and Tobago. The bold Parliamentary statement sent the entire population into a frenzy, causing journalists and wannabe-journalists to overwork their leads to uncover more about this Mr Big.
After the Dustbin Bomber struck in downtown Port of Spain in May 2009, the newspapers noted "Mister Big still missing". In January 2010, an anonymous caller on a radio talk-show hinted he had sufficient information to suggest that Mr Big was the head of an organised gang out of Laventille.
Although the leads fizzled, the panic sizzled. Enquiring minds demanded the quick and dirty story on this mysterious Mr Big. Blogs jammed, text messages slammed and emails spammed as everyone searched for information.
In his letter to the editor, one enterprising citizen suggested that perhaps the PNM machinery could be used to get information on Mr Big. Another letter to the editor recommended that the SIA disclose its files on Mr Big.
But despite the hocus-pocus and the lack of focus, Mr Big remained an elusive ghost .
But now the bubble has burst. In his tell-all fictional novel, Ty N Batson explains who Mr Big is, what he did and why. MR BIG is available at Nigel R Khan Bookseller, The Reader's Bookshop, St James and Paper Based Bookshop at the Normandie. It is also available in kindle format and paperback from Amazon.com
