During his lifetime, John “Boysie” Singh was a womaniser, gambling king, arsonist, preacher, pirate, thief, human trafficker, gangster, smuggler and mass murderer.
In a feature titled The Vagabond Rajah, which is exclusive to the Alexander app, award-winning Trinidadian author Ingrid Persaud has chosen to tell some of Singh’s story.
“I have been doing research for a fictional work on Boysie Singh on and off for quite a long time. He’s just somebody I’m intrigued by. So, I thought this was an opportunity to consolidate some of that. Also, because I’m hoping to get this book (the fictional work) together by the end of the year.”
