The Monkey House by John Fullerton

The Monkey House by John Fullerton

Rosso is the Detective Inspector trying to find a brutal murderer in the heart of a Balkan city ravaged by war. He has learnt to take each day as it comes, with bullets, violence and death around every corner. Luka is Sarajevo's crime boss, intent on exploiting the misery of his city’s inhabitants while also providing the only means of defence they have left. Tanja is the young woman loved, and set up, by both men and faced with an impossible conflict of loyalties. Flett is the foreign reporter, a U.S. citizen who hears and sees it all, partially protected by his job, but like the others, sucked in to the mire that is Sarajevo, once an elegant capital, now a battered but defiant place torn apart by a civilisation that has turned on itself. `'With a clarity that is sharp and painful, Fullerton’s first novel captures the emotions of small people trapped in a mad war: terror and privation, compassion and Balkan gallows humour. Given his narrative drive and masterly suspense, he has a very serious future’' Daily Telegraph '`Fullerton captures the grit and dust of the imploding city beautifully’' Observer

'I wouldn't compare this to Gorky Park, I would compare it to Dante's InfernoThe mystery is, why aren't there more books as good as this? The reason is that very few of us have been to places as dark as this, and John Fullerton has.' Martin Cruz Smith

John Fullerton writes about war, espionage, duty and conscience. Choosing exotic settings from his experiences as a Reuters correspondent, from Afghanistan and Bosnia to Lebanon and South Africa, he portrays the lone individual up against forces much more powerful than himself or herself, and the struggle for survival that inevitably ensues. He is the author of four novels, THE MONKEY HOUSE, A HOSTILE PLACE, THIS GREEN LAND and WHITE BOYS DON'T CRY.
